“A nation is united by the ideals of freedom, a nation is united by equity and by justice.
“This democracy was not a gift given to us by the military, it was not a lottery that we won, it was a product of struggle and sacrifice.
“Mr President, you have a duty to succeed. If you succeed, we will share your glory becuase you came from the trenches, you came from that struggle, you came from that period of struggle.
“Mr President, if you fail, they will say that those of you who fought for democracy have nothing new to offer Nigeria.” [CONTINUE READING HERE]>>>>
