Let’s unite, make Nigeria great — Senate President
Senate President Ahmed Lawan has called on Nigerians to put their tribal, religious, and political affiliations aside and unite to make the nation great.
Lawan made the call on Sunday during a thanksgiving service and 10th-anniversary celebration in honor of the late Chief Johnson Kalu, the father of the Chief Whip of the Senate, Sen. Orji Kalu, at Igbere in Bende Local Government Area of Abia.
He said that the country had great potential to be great, if Nigerians would unite, irrespective of their tribal, political and religious backgrounds.
He said: “Nigeria is designed by the grace of God to be a nation of many people of different orientation but common purpose and destiny.”
He congratulated Abia for producing three of the 20 principal officers of the National Assembly (NASS), saying that the state was being described as “the home of the whips”.
He listed Kalu, Sen. Enyinnaya Abaribe (Senate Minority Leader), and Rep. Nkeiruka Onyejeocha (Deputy Chief Whip of the House of Representatives) all from Abia, as principal officers of NASS.
“This shows that the state is at the heart of Nigeria,” he said, and urged Abia and Southeast politicians to pursue a common agenda to be in the nation’s mainstream politics.
“You should attempt to be the leaders of Nigeria and not to stay away from the part of the real centre of action in Nigeria.
“So let us continue to unite in Abia and Southeast not only in making the whips of the NASS but making Nigeria ours.
“Time is of the essence, Nigeria needs all of us to be united and all hands to be on deck to make the nation work and we can make it work,” the senate president said.
He thanked the traditional rulers of Igbere for conferring on him the chieftaincy title of “Nwanne di na mba 1 of Igbere”, which literally means that “brotherhood knows no boundaries”.
In a speech, Kalu expressed gratitude to his guests, saying his family members decided to mark the anniversary of their father’s death, because “it was his will that we should not hold burial ceremony for him when he is dead.”
He described his father, who died in 2010, as highly disciplined, God-fearing and an advocate of peace and justice.
