Former Senator representing Kaduna Central Senatorial District
The former Senator representing Kaduna Central Senatorial District has declared that National Anthem alone cannot unite a Nation adding that it is the ideals of Freedom, Justice and Equity that bring true unity.
The Distinguished Senator made this statement while speaking at a special Dinner Organized to mark Democracy day at the State House Conference Centre in Abuja on Wednesday.
” Mr President, I will like to draw your attention to this fact and truth. A national anthem , National pledge or a constitution cannot unite a Nation.
” A nation is United by the ideals of Freedom, a nation is United by equity and by Justice”.
” This Democracy was not a gift given to us by the military, it was not a lottery that we won, it was a product of struggle and Sacrifice.
” Mr President, you have a duty to succeed, if you succeed we will share in your Glory.
This is because you came from the trenches, you came from that struggle, you came from that period of struggle.
” Mr President, if you fail, they will say that those of you who fought for democracy have nothing new to offer Nigeria”.
