He said Imo State of the dreams of the people “can only be built through our collective efforts”
He called on political and religious leaders to use the 62nd independence anniversary to “serve as a wake up to fashion out ways of promoting our unity.
“We should eschew politics of hatred and divisiveness. We should stop engaging in such acts that question our loyalty to this great nation. Such activities include sponsoring insecurity and promoting seperatism”
He said those “who preach seperatism do not open the eyes of their followers to the dangers inherent in a fragmented country”
“While I concede that our system has not been perfect, and there have been pockets of injustice here and there, I insist that all of us are better off in a united Nigeria. All we have to do is work collaboratively to ensure that the country serves all of us well” he stated.
