The Governor of Kogi State, Capt.
Idris Wada (retd.), his deputy, Yomi
Awoniyi, a former Governor of
Kwara State, Dr. Bukola Saraki, and
the Speaker of the Kwara State
House of Assembly, Mr. Razak
Atunwa, have urged Nigerians to be
more committed to nation building
in 2015.
In their separate messages on
Wednesday, they stated that the
year offered hope for Nigeria to
overcome its developmental
challenges.
Wada, in a statement by his Special
Adviser on Media and Strategy, Mr.
Jacob Edi, called on Nigerians to
pray for genuine peace and
progress of the country and for its
leadership. He also enjoined them
to pray for peace and orderly
conduct of the forthcoming general
elections.
Saraki said 2014 was a year of
heightened activities in the
individual, social, economic and
political lives of Nigerians.
He enjoined Nigerians to set
themselves to the task of moving
the nation forward in 2015.
He added that they should move
with the goal of creating a new
Nigeria that its sons and daughters
could be proud of; a Nigeria that
works for the betterment of the
many as opposed to working for
the greed and excesses of the few.
He said the year should be seen as
a new opportunity to redefine
Nigeria’s collective bond as a
nation and work to elect leaders
that would serve the people, listen
to the people, and most
importantly, fight for the people.
“We have witnessed our nation
struggle through tough times due
to our security challenges. In our
homes, we have struggled through
the economic realities that have
become so pervasive. In the media,
we have seen our great nation be
skewered internationally for the
failed policies of this current
administration.”
