BEVERLY HILLS, October 01, (THEWILL) – Senate President Bukola Saraki, and his deputy, Ike Ekweremadu, have appealed to Nigerians to work towards a united and progressive nation.
Saraki, in a goodwill message by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Yusuph Olaniyonu, urged Nigerians irrespective of creed and tribe to continue to work for the peace, unity and stability of the country.
“Our togetherness, abundant resources and diversity are our greatest asset. Therefore let us refrain from tendencies that tend to pull us apart,” he said in commemoration of Nigeria’s 57th Independence celebration.
In his own message, Ekweremadu urged Nigerians to be patient and optimistic, assuring the country would surely overcome its challenges.
He said although the nation is bedeviled by myriad of challenges, it would spring back to reckoning as a true giant of Africa and realise the dreams of the founding fathers.
“The important thing is that Nigeria remains a nation with unbeatable potentials.
“All we need is the right attitude and leadership to translate our potential to greatness.
“Our greatest challenge at the moment is not the economic hardship, biting as it is. Our greatest problem is disunity and disaffection because the country has never been this divided.
“We need a leadership that sees every part of the country as its constituency, irrespective of different political, ethnic and religious leanings.”
