President of the Senate, Ahmad Lawan last Sunday made a strong case for national unity saying Nigeria needs all parts of the country to make things work.
Lawan stated this at the 10th year memorial anniversary of the father of the Senate Chief Whip, Orji Uzor Kalu which held at Igbere in Abia state.
The occasion was climaxed with the conferment on the Senate President,a High Chief title of Nwannedinamba 1, (our number one Brother in Diaspora) and as member Ezumezu Circle of Igbere Ebiri by the Igbere Clan Council of Ndi Eze, Igbere.
In his remarks, Lawan said: “This is one occasion that has brought all of us here. If you look at the cream of people around, you will believe that there is unity among us.
“Regardless of our political or religious persuasion, we are attending a function
that all of us believe is so important.
“Abia state is a home of unity. We have seen the presence of the (Senate) Minority Leader, Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe, Senator T. A. Orji. These are people who belong to different political parties. So this kind of environment is not a political environment. This is peoples’ environment.
“The Governor of Enugu state, our brother, Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi has been here
since. This is in solidarity with this family and this is what unity can achieve for us.
“Today and indeed even tomorrow and forever, we can achieve better. We can achieve more when we are united. Nigeria is designed by the Grace of God to be a nation of many people of different orientations, different sentiments but we must be a people with a common purpose and common destiny and this is what we are trying to achieve.”
