A former Chief of Staff (COS) to the Lagos State Governor, Otunba Samuel Olukunle Ojo, has urged Nigerians to embrace peace, progress, and unity amidst the country’s challenges, emphasising the need for peaceful resolution of conflicts while avoiding violence and destructive tendencies.
Otunba Ojo, popularly called Baba Ojo, made this call to action while speaking on the state of affairs in the country, urging for inclusive progress that would foster a sense of belonging, promote economic growth, and provide opportunities for all as well, amidst unity and national cohesion.
Acknowledging the protesters’ legitimate grievances, Ojo encouraged a pause in the protests to prevent further loss of lives and properties but quickly urged all Nigerians to allow for constructive dialogue and engagement with authorities with a focus on rebuilding and recovery efforts.
According to him, Nigerians can create a better future for themselves and generations to come by holding their leaders accountable through democratic processes that preach peace, progress, and unity.
“Let us all engage in peaceful and respectful discussions, support small businesses and local economies, and not forget to promote unity and inclusivity in our various communities.
We can hold our leaders accountable through democratic processes. By choosing peace, progress, and unity, Nigerians can create a better future for themselves and generations to come.
Join this collective call to action and be part of shaping a more united, peaceful, and prosperous Nigeria,” Ojo said.
