The chairman, Senate Committee on Electoral Matters, Senator Sarafadeen Alli, Wednesday, said President Bola Tinubu is committed to addressing challenges facing Nigeria.
Senator Alli in a statement by his special adviser on Media, Akeem Abas, stated that President Tinubu is demonstrating this by building on the foundations of progress and development.
The senator representing Oyo South Senatorial District said there is the need for Nigerians to remain hopeful and steadfast in their collective journey towards a greater nation under the leadership of President Bola Tinubu.
Expressing hope that Nigeria would overcome obstacles and achieve a greater Nigeria in togetherness, he said: “Today, we stand at a crucial juncture in our nation’s history, filled with hope and the promise of a brighter future.
“I urge every Nigerian to remain hopeful and steadfast in our collective journey towards a greater nation under the leadership of President Bola Tinubu.”
While reflecting on the nation’s democratic journey, he said it was essential to remember and honour the sacrifices of Chief MKO Abiola, a true martyr of Nigeria’s democracy.
Senator Alli added that Abiola’s unwavering commitment to the principles of justice and equity laid the groundwork for the freedoms they enjoyed today and his sacrifice in the face of great personal adversity serves as a beacon of hope and a reminder of the price paid for our democratic gains.
“Abiola’s legacy is one of courage and resilience. He stood firm in his demand for his June 12 mandate, even at the cost of his own life. We owe it to his memory to continue striving for the values he held dear. They are values that will guide us towards a more just and prosperous Nigeria.”
Urging Nigerians to also remember and celebrate other heroes who fought tirelessly for the nation’s democracy, he said their sacrifices and contributions paved way for the opportunities they now have to build a better nation.
He stated that Nigerians should remain united and hopeful as they forge ahead under President Bola Tinubu’s leadership.
