Senator Dino Melaye has lamented
that Nigeria no longer mark important days. He said this on Tuesday in a post
on Instagram.
The lawmaker was reacting to the
ongoing Ghana Independence celebration. In attendance were President Muhammadu
Buhari, Senate President, Bukola Saraki among others.
Dino Melaye posted a picture of
the colourful event and wrote, “I feel sad and ashamed this morning as I
physically see the cultural and national demonstration of love, unity and
purpose exhibited by Ghanaians here at the Black Star Square in Accra- Ghana as
Ghana celebrate their 61st independence and 25 years of uninterrupted
Democracy.”
“It is sad that My President and
eminent Nigerians watch this glamour and respect for heritage which Nigeria as
Regional Champions lost years ago. We have stop celebrating anything in
Nigeria. I.e Independece day,Democracy day and Children’s day. Our Independence
Day is now a low key event in the Presidential Villa.
“The Question is how did we get
here and why did we get here! We are here president and citizens of Nigeria
clapping for our’younger” brother Nation Ghana! What a shame. The reasons for
the fear of National celebrations are the colossal injustices in the land. We
as leaders at all levels must be fair and just to all.
“As long as we twist justice and
flow in the gown of injustice and hypocrisy we will never openly celebrate like
Ghana is doing today. We must decide to re-think and re-build. Altogether we
have failed. We must bring back our long lost reputation. As a child I always
look forward to celebrations like this.
