Dr Kayode Fayemi, the immediate past Governor of Ekiti State and President of the Forum of the Regions of Africa (FORAF), has urged Nigerians to use the opportunity of the New Year to promote the virtues of peace, unity, and tolerance.
In a New Year message issued by the Fayemi Media Office in Abuja, the former Governor and President of FORAF enjoined Nigerians to work together to build an inclusive, stable and peaceful society that will be a beacon to other countries in Africa.
Fayemi noted that ‘’our diversity and complexity can be sources of strength to propel us to achieve our national goals of peace, unity, and prosperity. This New Year presents us another opportunity to restart our effort to accomplish these dreams of our founding fathers.’’
Excerpts of the message read:
‘’I celebrate with all Nigerians for the opportunity of a New Year. It is my hope and prayer that the New Year will offer us all the opportunity for a fresh and glorious start at both personal and national levels. And this will usher for our country, and for us, a season of peace, unity, and prosperity.
