“We know times are tough but we are a tough people too. Therefore, instead of complaining always about the comatose state we met our dear State, we will keep working, and without any doubt we shall overcome all our present socio-economic setbacks sooner than anticipated.
“I also call on everyone of us to join hands in strengthening the bond of unity in Nigeria. I believe we are Nigerians first, before any religion or political affiliation. Thus, let us always give peaceful coexistence a chance to ensure a faster and long lasting economic and socio-political stability
