Lagos State Governor, Mr Akinwunmi Ambode has emphasised the need for Nigeria to remain united, saying there is more to gain in being together as one nation than dissolving as different independent entities.
Speaking on Sunday at a special thanksgiving service to commemorate Nigeria’s 57th Independence Anniversary in Lagos, the governor said it was important for Nigerians to realise the fact that the country’s diversity is a strength which makes the country a truly special place.
“That we still have a country we can call Nigeria today is a proof of the divine hands of God in our being together as one. We must, therefore, reflect on our journey so far and come to the inevitable realisation that we have much more to gain as one nation than as different independent entities.
“Our diversity is a strength and what makes our country a truly special place. We are a nation blessed by God. We have been blessed with enormous natural, human and material resources.”
The Governor, who recalled the terrible natural disasters that occurred in different parts of the world in recent times, said the fact that Nigeria had been preserved from such disasters confirmed that the country is favoured by God and that as Nigerians thank the Almighty for what he has done, more blessings would come upon the country.
