The Speaker of the Delta State House of Assembly, Rt Hon Sheriff (Elder) Sheriff Oborevwori JP has called on Nigerians to take charge of the struggle to get the country working again, as according to him, all was not well with the country presently.
This was contained in a felicitation message to Nigerians on the occasion of the 61st Independence anniversary of the country, signed on his behalf by his Chief Press Secretary, Mr. Dennis Otu. Oborevwori who lamented the present state of the country, said urgent steps must be taken by Nigerians to retool the country towards enduring peace, security and even development.
While commending Nigerians for sustaining the unity of the country up till this time, the Speaker stressed that the peaceful coexistence of the citizens of this country is non-negotiable. He said irrespective of the challenges been faced by the country, Nigeria is on the right path, adding that there certainly will be light at the end of the tunnel and that Nigerians should never take to the option of despair.
“I know that there are those that may say we have very little or nothing to celebrate and I will sincerely tell them that the unity of the country up till now is worth celebrating and that is why I am calling on all citizens of this great nation to take it upon themselves to get our nation working again so that the founding fathers of our country will be proud of us”, he stated.
Adding that” At 61 years, Nigeria has faced many challenges, but we have overcome those challenges and made progress in multiple spheres of human endeavour” and noted that there was still more to be done to achieve the dreams of all Nigerians.
“Let us collectively work for the unity of our great country as we do not have another country to call our own. Let us be dedicated to the enormous task of getting our country out of the woods and make this wonderful nation work again. We have to see to the peaceful coexistence of our people”.
