The energy that is brought to this very important moment in our history is most important, and we must get it right.
“Nigerians are a truly blessed and resilient people. Several times in our sojourn, it has been made evident that other nations have fallen at things that Nigeria is miraculously able to regain its balance and carry on.
“And while there is truly a global economic recession because we are a blessed people, we can symbolically dig wells in a famine season, that yields several fold during the times of plenty, which will surely come.
“There are global examples, where visible cuts in excessive government spending and a commitment to the welfare of the people have begun to restore faith in leadership. Visible actions that prioritize the well-being of the people will transformresentment into resilience. These nations have done it. Nigeria can do better than these nations, and Nigeria will do better.”
