Senate President greets Nigerians, calls for peace, unity

The Senate President, Ahmed Lawan, has urged Nigerians to live peacefully together in order to sustain unity. He also hailed workers for remaining steadfast despite the challenges brought by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Lawan stated these in his message on the 60th independence anniversary of Nigeria. He said, “I heartily felicitate with fellow Nigerians on the occasion of our 60th Independence Anniversary.

“While we celebrate the Diamond Jubilee Anniversary of our country as a sovereign nation, the occasion is also auspicious for a sober reflection on the progress that we have made, the challenges that we face and the future that we desire as a nation.

“It is in this sense that I consider the theme for the 60th Independence anniversary, “Together”, as apt.

“Indeed, patriotic Nigerians have ample reasons to celebrate the fact that in spite of the clear challenges that the differences in our tongues, modes of worship and other elements of our diversity pose to nationhood, we have remained Together.”

Lawan said the challenges facing the country in the nation’s building were not peculiar to Nigeria.

He said, “Our national journey may have been tortuous, our progress slow and unsteady, and primordial fears and sentiments may occasionally cast dark clouds over our unity and threaten our resolve to stick together, but if we look at great nations throughout history, we would realise that all such experiences are common features of nation-building.

“Some of us may not see the wood for the trees due to some unmet expectations. But a broad perspective of issues will strengthen rather than weaken our aspiration of building a great Nigeria.

“Our commitment to the cause of building a nation in which none is oppressed and of which all is proud must therefore remain unshakable.

“This cause fired the zeal of our founding fathers and inspired them to make the great sacrifices that they made to bequeath to us our independence. This cause must remain a proud heritage for the current generation of Nigerians and a baton to pass to future generations.

“We should not allow unnecessary magnification of our teething problems by some people to shake our faith in the great destiny of our country. As has been said, democracy is a journey rather than a destination. National development too is always a work in progress that requires the patient and unconditional commitment of all patriots.”

The Senate President said must express their rights within the ambit of the law so as not to threaten national unity, peace and development.

He said, “We value our democracy and the rights it confers on us as citizens of a democratic nation. However, the expression of these rights need not be a clog in the wheel of our national unity, peace and development.

“Our democracy is a vehicle for the pursuit of our individual and collective aspirations. We all have roles to play to keep the vehicle roadworthy and fit for purpose.

“On our part as the Legislature, we will continue to provide true representation to the Nigerian people and to strive to make their government work for them.

“In this regard, the ninth National Assembly is committed to having another look at our constitution, the grundnorm for our co-existence as a nation, with a view to making it a document of the Nigerian people.”

The senate president urged Nigerians to take advantage of the constitution review process and participate actively.

He said, “The overall objective of the periodic ammendment of our laws is to make them keep pace with the changes that each epoch requires, strengthen the bond that keeps us together and to cement peace and progress in our beloved country.”

Lawan hailed workers for their resilience in the face of challenges facing the nation and the manner the dispute over hike in fuel and electricity tariff was handled with the government.

“Organised labour in particular deserves special commendation for the patriotism they exhibited in the management of the recent disagreement over certain policy decisions arising from the reform programme of the government. Such understanding between the government and the people is always required to move the nation forward.

“Finally, as we celebrate our Independence Anniversary, permit me to remind us of the need for us all to continue to be conscious that the Coronavirus pandemic is still very much with us.

“The Presidential Task Force on COVID-19 and our health workers at the frontline are working very hard to flatten the curve of the spread of the disease, so we as members of the public must not drop the ball by letting down our guards. Let us abide by the public health safety protocols to avert a second wave of the pandemic.”
