The Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Sen. George Akume, says Nigerians have to be united for the nation’s economy and democracy to prosper.
He made this known when he received a delegation from the Forum of Former Deputy Governors of Nigeria, led by its Chairman, Chris Alozie in his office in Abuja.
”Nigerians must work together for the peace of the country and the development of our democracy and economy.
“We must always be united as a people. As the Sadauna of Sokoto used to say, the prime of knowledge, our strength lies in our diversity. That is very true till this moment.
“Together, we will continue to come up with things that will continue to grow this democracy, grow our economy.
“That is what we need in this country. If there is prosperity, all of us will benefit. If there is chaos, all of us will be victims.
“So, given your maturity, I have every reason to believe that this forum will continue to play a key role in promoting the unity and stability of our dear country,” Akume said.
The SGF assured the forum that he would attend its upcoming annual meeting scheduled for October 21.
