In a New Year Message, Former Gov. Peter Obi of Anambra, has suggested to Nigerians that they should use year 2020 as a spring board to work towards recovering and refocusing the country to find its bearing in the comity of nations.
Obi, who was the Vice-Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), in the February general elections, made this statement issued by his media office in Abuja.
He said that God had destined Nigeria to be a great people and a great nation but through its leadership failure over the years the nation was not where it should be.
He urged the political leaders in the country to refocus their economic policies for growth and development, especially in education and job creation through small and medium-sized enterprises.
“Government should also in the new year strive to seek a pragmatic solution to the increasing security challenges in the country,’’ he said.
Obi wished all Nigerians a happy and a prosperous 2020 as he prayed for enduring justice and peace in our society.
