Unity remains a panacea to overcome challenges and achieve goals – Ex-Speaker, Dogara

Former Speaker of the House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara, has harped on unity as the panacea that Nigeria will use to overcome all challenges and achieve its goal of being a great nation.

Dogara made the statement on Saturday in Langtang, Langtang North Local Government Area of ​​the Plateau, during the celebration of the Tarok Cultural Annual Festival, 2024.

The former speaker said a united Nigeria would be an unyielding nation and whatever the country focused on would be possible to achieve.

According to him, the country’s diversities were a source of strength rather than weakness, as many people wrongly believe.

“God himself is the God of diversity; you can see how diverse we are. If you look at the ecosystem, all the animals that live in it are all different species living in a symbiotic relationship.

“Our diversity should not be a source of weakness; it should be a source of strength when we agree to come together,” he said.

The former chairman further said that if Nigerians were determined to work together, build bridges and reach out to each other, the country would overcome all its challenges.

He urged the Tarok people and their guests to become peace ambassadors and begin working towards peace and unity in Tarok land and extend it to Plateau and Nigeria.
