Nigeria’s Challenges Are Surmountable – Ahmad Lawan

Nigeria’s Senate President, Ahmad Lawan has come out to urge Nigerian political leaders to unite to fix the challenges facing the country.

He recently revealed this via a new statement, and Nigerians have been reacting.

According to him, the fact remains that no part of Nigeria can solve its problem on its own, especially when the problem has engulfed all parts of the country.

Lawan added that the truth is Nigeria’s challenges are surmountable if only we can end the division in the nation.

His words, “I want to say that today’s challenges are surmountable challenges. All we need is to come together as a people, face the challenges no matter how difficult they may appear.”

“Once we are united, we are resolved, we can deal with these challenges, most of them if not all of them, and continue the march to making Nigeria a success, a great country, like our founding fathers envisioned.”

“I belong to that optimistic school of thought that no part of Nigeria can solve a challenge that faces the entire nation.”

“No matter how strong any individual can be, he needs others to make his job much easier and more successful when he has to try to deal with it.”

“We are facing, not only political but even security challenges today, in all parts of the country. What this requires is for all parts of Nigeria, particularly political leaders to come together.”

“Whether the issues are most predominant in northwest or southwest or southeast or indeed in any part of the country, all hands must be on deck and that will be the secret of our success.”

“The people of Nigeria, as demonstrated by Kabiyesi, love this country, love its people and wherever our people come from, they feel sentimental towards each other, that they are one and the same people.”

“It is for the political leaders to ensure that they work with this very important factor of unity among the ordinary people to bring all these challenges down to their knees. And we can achieve that.”

“I want to urge all political leaders in this country to come together to understand that no part can handle a problem that engulfs all parts. That all parts must be united to deal with problem that engulfs all parts.”

“Your Royal Highness, you have done what we need to do in this country. The founding fathers of this country recognised and set a vision for the country.”

“They came from different ethnic background, different religious persuasions and yet they had vision that Nigeria, with all the diversities, can be made into a great country, to be the greatest in Africa and occupy enviable position in the international polity and they worked hard to achieve that.”

“On the way, there were challenges but those leaders faced the challenges squarely and dealt with most of them. Subsequent leaders hard the same vision of a Nigeria that will be united, that will be stable, that will be peaceful, that will be progressive, that will develop and grow for every Nigerian to actualise his or her dream.”

“They faced challenges, squarely faced the challenges and dealt with most of them.”

“Today, our Nigeria faces some challenges but like the previous leaders, we are determined to remain united, face the challenges squarely and deal with them.”

“This is something that we have been able to do in the Senate. We are from different backgrounds of ethnicity and religion. In fact, different political parties but we have decided to come together regardless of our differences and work for the betterment of our country.”

“I’m proud to say that the ninth Senate and indeed the National Assembly has achieved so much. Achieving first in so many ways, facing the most difficult legislative issues that previously defied any success and the secret is: we face the challenges in a very united version.”
