Independence: Nigeria will be great again, says Omisore

Former Deputy Governor of Osun State, Senator Iyiola Omisore, has expressed hope of a brighter and glorious future for Nigeria.
Omisore, in a statement entitled, “My message of hope” to commemorate Nigeria’s 57th year of attaining nationhood, exuded confidence that Nigeria, though currently bedevilled by challenges, would overcome and become prosperous.
The former Chairman, Senate Committee on Appropriation, while congratulating Nigerians, noted that there was every reason to celebrate.
“It has been 57 years of unity in diversity,” he stated. “Yes, we are yet to get it right as a nation, but I assure you that we would overcome. If the 12 tribes of Israel could overcome their adversities in the wilderness and come out to become the strong, mighty nation of Israel we all see today, surely soon and very soon, Nigeria will see the light. We will become envy of other nations. God will hear our prayers and our diversity will become source of our strength.”
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chieftain enjoined Nigerians to embrace peace and eschew ethnic-fuelled hatred which would only cause further division in the nation.
According to him, it is only through love, unity and patriotism to the fatherland that the country can prosper.
“Soon and very soon, our socio-economic and political life will become better and we will all begin to smile. But let us continue to love one another; let’s eschew violence and hatred. Let us put Nigeria first. Let us support the government irrespective of our political leanings and ideologies. Let us live with the fear of God, as the real CHANGE is coming soon,” he stated.
