The Senior Special Adviser to
President Muhammadu Buhari on Prosecution, Barrister Okoi Obono-Obla, has said
that Nigeria at 57 has not fared badly. He said, “The prospect of Nigeria
becoming the beckon of African race is bright.”
Obla in a chat on
Sunday, said he was excited and glad that despite many hurdles, the country has
remained united and indivisible.
He said, “I am excited and glad
that despite everything, the Nigeria federation has survived for almost 103
years. This country was amalgamated on 3rd January 1914. As a Nigeria
Federation, we are 103 years old and 57 old as an Independent country. We have
come a long way.
“Nigeria has come to stay;
Nigeria will be the beckon stone for other black race and it is a corner stone
for other African countries and a confederation of the black race because the
black race has been bounced since the collapse of the ancient Egypt and in the
next 100 years, Nigeria will be a black World Power. It is the light of the
black people of the universe,” he stated
Asked if Nigeria has achieved the
dreams of her founding fathers, Obla said, “Not completely, but we will get
there because under the government of President Mohammedu Buhari, a solid
foundation has been laid for us to achieve the dreams of our founding fathers,
a united country premised on social justice, democracy, economic prosperity, a
people of different diversity but united under one banner.
“So we will get there, we are
just half way from achieving the dreams of our founding fathers, we have not
done badly despite everything and now that we have leadership that is credible,
a leadership that is transparent, we shall get there,” he added.
On economy, the Special Adviser
pointed out, “The economy is beginning to make a remarkable recovery, we are
beginning to diversify the economic, agriculture is booming, farmers are making
money and infrastructural facilities are springing up all over the country.
“Thousands of youths have been
employed, we are on the part of getting there, for the first time, we have a
responsible leadership in the country. The prospect is there, you can feel it,
as I said the most important thing is the leadership that is committed, a
leadership that is dedicated, a leadership that is patriotic, a leadership that
is responsible and I can say that we now have that leadership in the country.
