“I believe in the sovereignty, indivisibility and unity of Nigeria; more than ever, this is the time for all well-meaning Nigerians to put all hands on deck and collectively work towards building the Nigeria of our dream.
“As the nation faces numerous development challenges, the task of Nation building and sustainable development is a collective responsibility,’’ he said.
