The First Lady added that while Nigeria welcomes support from global partners in tackling insecurity, such cooperation must not compromise the country’s dignity or sovereignty.
Also speaking at the service, Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Benjamin Kalu, called for deeper international collaboration to address security challenges but stressed that national independence must remain paramount. He commended the church for its role in promoting unity and national cohesion.
In his remarks, Archbishop Onuoha warned against downplaying the severity of the country’s problems, especially insecurity. He urged Nigerians and the government to confront the issues collectively and transparently.
The ceremony, which drew clerics, government officials and members of the Methodist community, doubled as a platform for renewed calls for national unity.
Mrs Tinubu’s assurance aligns with the administration’s message that, despite mounting pressures, Nigeria’s federation remains intact and resilient.
