Former Kaduna Central Senator, Shehu Sani, has said that national anthem alone cannot unite a nation, stressing that it is the ideals of freedom, justice, and equity that bring true unity. He made this statement while speaking at a special dinner organised to mark Democracy Day at the State House Conference Centre in Abuja on Wednesday.

Sani also told President Bola Tinubu that he had a duty to succeed. He said in part, "Mr President, i will like to draw your attention to this fact and this truth, A national anthem cannot unite a nation, a national pledge cannot unite a nation, a constitution cannot unite a nation. A nation is united by the ideals of freedom, a nation is united by equity and by justice.

"This democracy was not a gift given to us by the military, it was not a lottery that we won, it was a product of struggle and sacrifice. Mr President, you have a duty to succeed. If you succeed, we will share your glory becuase you came from the trenches, you came from that struggle, you came from that period of struggle. "Mr President, if you fail, they will say that those of you who fought for democracy have nothing new to offer Nigeria."

"A national anthem, pledge or constitution can not unite a nation, a nation is united by the ideals of freedom, equity, and justice"

Godfullsam:
I know you hate balablu with passion, I don't like his leadership style either.

But never you mock an elderly man for falling, especially if you aspire to live long.
Even obi that you all worship as your imaginary Messiah didn't mock him despite being an opposition, Atiku who came second even condoned with Tinubu.
There are reasons why these opposition leaders will disagree with him on almost everything but they didn't mock him when he fell.

No one stops you from being hate filled, it is the choice of life you have chosen to live.
But always use your head whenever you chose to mock people.

Epic! Words on marble! It is not be criminally stealing a mandate and tampering with the national symbols of relics of a nation.

Amumaigwe:
The same Tinubu and his gang celebrated President Jonathan's requiem while he was still alive. So what is this holier than thou stance you people are putting up? Has Tinubu died as a result of the death wish on an innocent man? Mocking Tinubu will provoke no comebacks because he mocked others before him. So get off
