Independence Day: Don’t give up on Nigeria – Shina Peller
Hon. Shina Peller of the Federal House of Representatives has urged Nigerians not to give up on the country despite the numerous challenges it is facing.
Shina Peller who represents Iseyin/Itesiwaju/Kajola/Iwajowa federal constituency, Oyo State, said this in his Independence Day anniversary message to Nigeria.
The lawmaker called for unity in the country irrespective of political, ethnic and religious divides.
The statement reads:
“I felicitate with fellow compatriots on the occasion of Nigeria’s 60th Independence Anniversary which is very significant to our existence as a sovereign nation.
“At our 60th Independence Anniversary, it is true that we are still confronted with so many challenges such as insecurity, high rate of unemployment, economic volatility, corruption and many others. However, we still have so much to be hopeful for as a country especially our huge natural and human capital resource potential and our ever enduring and resilient and creative citizens.
“Fellow compatriots, we must not give up on Nigeria, it is our country. Nobody will come from outside to build the Nigeria of our dreams, we must do it ourselves bearing in mind that we are a nation of huge potential, notwithstanding our challenges.
“Also, we should know that in our diversity lies our strength, and so we should leverage on this rather than allow it to tear us apart.
“In the same vein, we shouldn’t forget that we are first and foremost Nigerians before we are Muslims or Christians, Igbos or Hausas, Fulanis or Yorubas. Therefore, the interest of the country must always come first.
“Furthermore, the political class must consider future generations when making decisions. We should build for the coming generations a Nigeria that they will be very proud of.
