Ex Lagos State governor Asiwaju Bola Tinubu explains why he does not feel optimistic about celebrating Nigeria’s 54th Independence in an elaborate fashion.
Nigerians
suffer from poor leadership, while the nation is yet to fulfill its
potential, P.M. News reports with reference to Tinubu’s statement released
today, September 29.
The
All Progressives Congress (APC) national leader started his address with the
following words:
“We commemorate this Independence Day because the nation
has survived despite its many challenges. We dare not celebrate because the
nation has not flourished as it should. 54 years our national trek began with
hope and promise, peace and unity.
Today, the nation staggers beneath the weight of trouble
stacked upon problem multiplied by hardship. Peace and unity seem to have
yielded the moment to violence and discord. We exist as a political unit on a
map but we do not prosper as brothers and sisters in one nation, under one flag
and pursuant to one accord.”
