Acting President Yemi Osinbajo has stressed the need for Nigerians to stop the blame game and make sacrifi ces for the country to achieve its greatness. Osinbajo said this yesterday at the 2017 Democracy Day Interdenominational Church service held at the National Christian Centre in Abuja. He said: “When we look on our country, it is not the state it fell that is the story but the story is how the people react when you see the nation that needs to be helped. “While the politician and cleric look the other way when the saw the man that was half dead, the Good Samaritan had compassion on him, bandage him and took him to the hospital.
“Who truly loves the nation, is it the priest that said a prayer walked past, or the politician that looked and walked past or the Samaritan that took the wounded to the hospital, paid some money and said treat him, on my return I will upset the bill. “Th e nation requires those that can make the sacrifi ces to make it great, they are those whom Jesus spoke about, people that may not be of note but prepared to make the nation great again. Some are doctors, teachers, young graduates. “Th ere is sacrifi ce of integrity against corruption, when you speak against corruption it fi ghts back so you must be ready to make sacrifi ce no matter how highly placed or small you are. Teachers who are prepared to teach, doctors who are prepared to provide health services no matter what. “Make the sacrifi ces required to make our nation great whether you are a leader or a follower.” Th e Acting President prayed that God would heal President Muhammadu Buhari and bring him back safely. He also prayed for grace for those willing to make sacrifi ces to make the nation great.
