As Nigeria turns Sixty-one, the need for Nigerians, irrespective of race and religion to be more united and patriotic has been stressed.
The Speaker, Kwara State House of Assembly, Rt Hon Engr. Yakubu Danladi-Salihu who gave the stress in his anniversary message to Nigerians noted that, despite the current prevailing challenges bedeviling the nation, Nigeria remains the giant of Africa and one way to sustain this enviable status is for the citizens to be more united and patriotic.
Engr. Danladi-Salihu explains that, every nation of the world has one or more challenges and Nigeria would not be an exemption, calling on Nigerians to preach peace and unity, eschew violence and hate.
“Nigeria like other countries of the world is having her own share of challenges especially security challenges, but as we mark our Sixty-first independence anniversary, our problems are surmountable if we renew our patriotism and unite to pursue the true dreams of our founding fathers built on a virile and economic-prosperous nation”.
“Despite the challenges, President Muhammad Buhari and our dear Governor, Mallam AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq have, through their genuine and determined efforts been working assiduously to make the country and the state sustainable through their policies and programs that are already paying off”
“On behalf of my respected colleagues at the Kwara State House of Assembly, the Ninth legislature, I wish Nigerians at home and in diaspora, happy independence and urged them to please continue to support our leaders with prayers so that in the end, we can have reasons to give thanks to God Almighty”
