Speaking at the launch of
campaign wrist bands, President Buhari said the occasion was part of his
administration’s commitment to the sustenance of unity and mutual co-existence,
stressing that Nigerians were united by shared history and shared destiny.
The President also said his
administration was doing all it could to promote togetherness as well as cement
cordial relationship among the citizens, adding that the coming together of the
group made up of people of various ethnic backgrounds was an indication and
demonstration of the determination of his administration to see that Nigeria
succeeds.
He said that no nation can make
progress without unity, noting that despite some challenges that tried to tear
the country apart, it had always emerged stronger from such crisis.
According to him, “This occasion
is part of our commitment to the sustenance of unity and mutual co-existence as
one people united by our shared history and shared destiny. It is a
demonstration of our determination to see Nigeria succeed as we come to
agreement that no nation can truly make progress without unity.
“Our country has passed through
difficult times, on occasions threatening the foundations of our unity, but
with the help of God, we have always emerged from each crisis stronger. There
is no doubt that we still have pockets of issues that question our unity but we
are convinced that, with the determination of all Nigerians, we shall remain
strong and united.
“The Buhari Unity Band is a
visual and token symbol of our resolve to live in unity as one and to preach
the message of unity wherever we live. Those who subscribe to the unity
wristband will be known as Nigerian Unity Ambassadors. You will be building on
the legacy of a number of our patriots who have, in the past, sacrificed so
much, some even their lives, in defense of our nation.
“I want to commend the Good
Governance Ambassadors of Nigeria, who initiated this project, for their sense
of patriotism and commitment. Let me assure you that the government remains
committed to advancing the course of national unity and progress.
