Nigeria @ 54... H.E . T.A Orji preaches peace and
unity
As Nigeria celebrates her 54 years of political
independence, Abia State Governor, Chief Theodore
Orji (CON), has sued for peace and unity among all
Nigerians despite their religious, political or ethnic
differences.
Orji who made the appeal in a press release issued
in Umuahia by his Chief Press Secretary, Mr.
Charles Ajunwa, noted that the current security
and other challenges confronting the country would
be a thing of the past "if all citizens and ethnic
nationalities, political parties and religious bodies
see Nigeria as one and indivisible entity."
The Governor noted that the result achieved in the
fight against Ebola virus was a foretaste of greater
feats that would be recorded "in the various sectors
of our national life if we remain united and tackle
our challenges as one people."
Governor Orji who commended the military and
other security agencies for the recent victories
gained in the war against insurgency, expressed
strong belief in "one and indissoluble Nigeria."
"Insecurity shall soon fizzle out if we rediscover
ourselves as one people and harness the strength
in our diversity," he said.
The governor also used the forum to call on all
members of Boko Haram to down their weapons
and embrace peace as a mark of respect for the
sacrifices of Nigeria's nationalists who fought for
independence and unity of Nigeria.
He commended President Goodluck Jonathan for
"entrenching democracy in the country through his
laudable transformation agenda which has raise
the bar of governance in Nigeria."
Governor Orji, therefore, urged Nigerians to close
ranks with the President in his bid to take Nigeria
to its manifest destiny of growth, progress and
development.
He noted that civilian administration had proved to
be the best form of government considering the
quantum of developments recorded in the country
in the last 16 years of uninterrupted democracy.
On the 2015 general elections, Orji appealed to
aspirants of various elective positions to eschew
politics of bitterness and rancour in the overall
interest of the country.
He assured Abians that none of the legacy projects
initiated by his administration would be
abandoned, expressing confidence that his
successor would consolidate on the solid
foundations already laid by him.
