Former Biafran Policemen, under the aegis of Association of Retired War Affected Police Officers (ARWAPO), have shown support for one Nigeria, saying the Biafran war is over and over forever.
ARWAPO’s President, Matthew Udeh, thanked and prayed for President Muhammadu Buhari for looking at the Nation as one indivisible entity.
“We believe we are all one, one Nigeria forever, I feel fulfilled today. The whole ARWAPO members are full of gratitude to Mr President for hearing our cry for over 40 years and running”.
The Executive Secretary, Pension Transitional Arrangement Directorate (PTAD), Sharon Ikeazor, said Buhari’s administration’s reforms under PTAD will ensure that Nigerians who spent the productive years of their lives serving the Nation will not experience difficulties in getting their pensions.
“This represents another decision by the current Federal Government to bring closure to the painful legacies of the civil war, and indeed a clear demonstrate that President Muhammadu Buhari is indeed a father to all Nigerians”.
“The others, 155 who are on payroll but were being short paid would be paid in the next batch as soon as their pension benefit computation is concluded”.
This is coming after President Muhammadu Buhari approved the payment of pensions to retired Biafra policemen.
Meanwhile, former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, on his twitter handle, commended President Muhammadu Buhari, stating that
“this move shows a commitment to peace, unity and our shared belief in one Nigeria, with justice and equity for all”.
