Lagos State Assembly Deputy Speaker has implored Nigerians to build a structure of unity and peaceful coexistence amongst every tribe that makes Nigeria formidable.
In his short piece posted online, the articulate crusader and advocate for unity made it clear that shared purpose, such as the June 12 historical event, can give everyone a common ground to build Nigeria and make it habitable for every citizen, regardless where we chose to reside; north, east, south or west.
He wrote:
June 12 is more than a date. It is a day Nigerians put aside all their differences and united behind a common desire to advance our nation. On June 12, our people demonstrated resolve and the will to live and develop this great nation together.
There were no Hausa, Igbo, Yoruba, Ijaw, Edo or Kanuri. There were no Muslims, Christians or atheists. We were all one-united under the banner of Hope and Greatness that awaits our nation.
More than ever before, in our history, June 12 significance and spirit is more profound; More relevance and more desirable.
Today, let us reflect on this as we mark the 24th anniversary of this day. Let us come forward with a new resolution that we can collectively mould a united and prosperous nation that can stand shoulder to shoulder among the great nations.
Moshood Kashimawo Abiola remains, our Democracy Hero!
