Only Unity, Patriotism Can Bring Progress, Prosperity To Nigeria – Southern Senators

December 31, (THEWILL) – The Southern Senators Forum (SSF) has urged Nigerians to forge a united nation to fortify the country’s bonds and make it strong to overcome the challenges of corruption, insecurity and economic deprivation

The Forum, in a 2023 New Year Message issued on Saturday, by its Chairman and Senator representing Ekiti Central Senatorial District, Michael Opeyemi Bamidele, said Nigeria can only witness progress and prosperity if all citizens value unity and patriotism.

They also appeal to religious and political leaders, not to make incendiary and inflammatory comments that can further widen the existing cleavages and stoke the fire of disunity, which has been the main challenge ripping the country apart.

Charging citizens to guard the country’s unity jealously, the Forum urged Nigerians to make the right choice in the 2023 general elections, for the task of building a progressive nation is realisable

“We thank God for giving us the opportunity to see the New Year as it is neither by might nor by our own strength to see this New Year, but by the help of Almighty God because nobody can receive anything except he has been given by God.

“I want to use this opportunity to appeal to our community and religious leaders to continue to preach the message of peace among all Nigerians because a nation can’t progress or prosper unless there is unity among tribes and religious organisations.

“We must know that a peaceful and united nation is a bedrock and fertile ground for progress and prosperity to be attained and sustained.

“With that spirit of unity and patriotism, we believe citizens can get it right by voting their conscience in any election without external influences and inducements.

“We charge Nigerians to get it right in the New Year by supporting governments to build strong institutions that can stand the test of time and that can put the nation on a faster pace of peace, unity, political emancipation and economic prosperity,” they added.
