From Olanrewaju lawal, Birnin Kebbi
Kebbi State Governor Dr Nasir Idris has said that the diversity of Nigeria must remain her source of unity.
The governor said this in his message to the people of the state and Nigerians on the occasion of the celebration of the 2023 Democracy Day.
He said:” God created us differently for us to appreciate and love each other. Although these differences are so glaringly, we must however understand each other and use that as a comparative advantage.
“This comparative advantage, coupled with demographic supremacy in the comity of nations should be put to proper use. These should be used to propel Nigeria into more formidable developments, entrenchment of democracy and bolstering socio-economic prosperity.”
Idris said that Nigeria’s democracy had trudged on successfully in spite of some of the perceived odds and stressed that the nation’s democratic trajectory has remained on course from 1999 to date.
The governor noted that Nigerians have a lot to celebrate whenever democracy was involved.
