‘Unity Is The Solution To National Challenges” –Chief Bode George

Chief Ibiyinka Bode George has warned that tribalism, sectionalism, religious bigotry, nepotism and favouritism will not do Nigeria any good as it would only obstruct development and might lead to division.

Speaking at the 3rd Freedom Online Annual Lecture in Lagos, on Tuesday, the former Deputy National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) said unity, cooperation and oneness was the only thing needed to tackle the nation’s challenges.

He emphasized on the need for citizens to work together, support each other in order to fathom what really went wrong with Nigeria.

“A nation is not a mere conglomeration of a space and a people. It is more.

“A nation is about agreed destiny and collective vision; a nation is about shared values with well been cultivated ideals.

“It is the effortless summation of a common dream, of common truth, of common objectives, and of agreed realities.

“A nation is the spontaneous voiding of parochial limitations. It is the deliberate eclipsing of ethnic or sectarian articulations.

“It is to reside in a unifying universe where growth is measured by hard work and merit, where human enhancement is predicated on demonstrated rallying virtues of leadership, of strength of character, of dedication to duty and repose in honour.

”We must work together to identify and rectify the variegated ills and the wrongs presently subsisting,” he said.
