Former Minister of Special Duties and Presidential aspirant under the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Kabiru Tanimu Turaki, SAN, has called on Nigerians to embrace peace, inclusion, and unity as the nation celebrates its 61st independence anniversary.
Turaki stressed that given the nation’s diversity, Nigeria is stronger when all the ethnic groups work hand-in-hand to foster its development.
In a statement issued in Abuja by his media office on Thursday, the frontline politician urged Nigerians to embrace peace and togetherness as the nation turns 61.
“We are stronger together. We have always been. When we look at the strength and potentialities which all our parts are endowed with, we see that we have all it takes to surmount all challenges.”
The Senior Advocate of Nigeria advised that, as we celebrate our 61st anniversary, we must look beyond our own ethnic, religious, and socio-economic lenses to understand that every individual, every community, and every state has a crucial role to play in developing the Nigeria of our dreams.
“We must all rise as compatriots and serve our motherland with all sincerity.
“We cannot continue to look at each other with distrust because we come from different places or because we worship God differently.”
“We must understand that it is the Almighty Allah that ordained this nation, and we must work together to protect and preserve it,” the former presidential aspirant counseled.
The former Minister prayed that Nigeria, its leaders and citizens would be guided so that it can attain its fullest potential.
He urged that the celebration should be an ample time for deep sober reflection on the attainment of 61 years of togetherness and ways to advance the nation.
“We must pray for Almighty Allah’s intervention in the areas of insecurity, economy, and other aspects that greatly impact on the lives of our people.”
“May Almighty Allah continue to bless our country Nigeria,” he said. (NAN)
