The CEO of Nine Communications Nigeria Limited, and the Publisher of 9News Nigeria, Mr Obinna Ejianya, has urged President Bola Tinubu to heed to the pressures and cries of Nigerians as a result of high cost of fuel.
Mr Ejianya who stated this in a statement also tasked Nigerians to rekindle National Pride and patriotism in the spirit of the nation’s 64 years independence anniversary and the 5 years anniversary of JusticeNOW International
He acknowledged that many of Tinubu’s policies have improved the sordid state of some aspects of the country, such as in the areas of security in some parts of the country, infrastructural upgrades and long-term financial policies
“While I acknowledge many of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s policies that have improved the sordid state of some aspects of the country, such as in the areas of security in some parts of the country, infrastructural upgrades and long-term financial policies, I still expect that this government should heed to the pressures and cries of most Nigerians who are facing aggravated grave hardship as a result of high cost of fuel”, he said.
Mr Ejianya added, ” I salute the resilience of Nigerians to keep moving on, even in the face of hardship, but for how long? The faith and uncommon solidarity we share amongst ourselves remains the greatest strength and the reason we are moving on as a Country”.
” We Nigerian Young People must rise now and take the centre stage in putting Nigeria First on global map, as we have done the country proud in Entertainment, Business, Sports, Music and many other aspects of stride both continentally and globally”.
The Australian-based Nigerian stated that there is the need for Nigerians both at home and in the diaspora, political and religious leaders to rekindle National Pride, Patriotism and love for God and the Country, adding that Nigeria’s diversities should be an unbreakable bond and strength that should unite Nigerians rather than tool that divides them.
“We should, like other developed countries of the world, encourage diversity and inclusiveness. The theme demonstrates a deep understanding of who we are and what we stand for. It tells of the great past and beautiful future ahead of us. Personally, I believe the Nigeria Project is still an achievable one if only we can only let go corruption and wickedness and seek the face of God while doing our businesses with all sincerity and honesty”
Mr Ejianya noted “The truth is that loving God and country is not a big deal, it is one of the easiest thing a man can do; but greed and selfishness has made it so impossible until now. But I have this hope that going forward, there shall be a renewed National Patriotism, Fairness and Equity, Sense of belonging From the North to the South, From the East to the West, and by this Nigeria shall rise again”.
“In all of this, I call for everyone to remain in the faith and brotherhood that binds us for an increased solidarity with NigeriaFIRST Campaigns for better and progressive Nigeria. And to my brothers and sisters and friends in the Diaspora Community, I encourage you not to lose hope, not turn your back on Nigeria and Nigerians at home. This is one of the difficult moments in our nation but it is and will soon be the brightest so far”.
According to him, ” despite the challenges Nigeria is currently facing as a Country, it continues to remain a pride, identity and beloved nation to its citizens. Nigerians should be proud of their country, saying this is because Nigerians all over the world are making tremendous progress in all walks of life, “and that significantly shows we are a great people’.
