Despite the monumental lost of hope by Nigerians in the Nigeria system’ orchestrated by  unresolved insecurity, hunger, epileptic power supply, economic down turn, killings of Nigerians abroad  and policy somersaults, I admonish our citizens  to be full of hope. All hope is not lost. God still loves Nigeria and things will be better.

At this time when other countries are reinventing their potential, the prevailing abuse of governance through disobedience to court orders by government, growing local and foreign debts with no corresponding uplift in living standard, dysfunctional educational and health system, politicizing minimum wage and inability to enthrone food sufficiency remain unacceptable.

However, we must all collectively allow our patriotic spirit to drive our attitudes in the face of multi-ethnic and religious uprisings as we can only achieve our objective as one indivisible country.

At 59, we should begin to see the unity of the country as non negotiable; a country that has become indivisible. As citizens, we should therefore think less about tribal and religious differences and think more about the harmony and progress of the country.

I call for peaceful co-existence among Nigerians irrespective of their religious beliefs. We should live in peace and avoid any form of violence.

As a matter of fact, at 59 years of age, Nigerians should also grow beyond ethnic war songs. Hence, ethnic associations and groups beating ethnic war drums should discontinue. Such tendencies have no meaningful contribution to the desired prosperity of the country.

We should also leverage on the 59th Independence event to pray for God’s intervention in the affairs of the nation.

Alliance for United Nigeria,AUN,  remains committed to ushering  only a people oriented government that is responsive to the needs of the governed in the years ahead through the enablement of Nigerians.

May the good Lord bless Nigeria people in particular and Nigerians in general on this momentous period of 59th Independence celebration.
