The former speaker, House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara, has harped on unity as the panacea Nigeria will use to surmount all challenges and achieve its target of being a great nation.
Dogara made this statement on Saturday in Langtang, Langtang North Local Government of Plateau, at the celebration of the Tarok Cultural Annual Festival, 2024.
The former speaker said a united Nigeria would be an indomitable nation and that anything that the country focused on would be possible to achieve.
According to him, the country’s diversities were sources of strength rather than weakness, as many people erroneously believe.
“God himself is the God of diversity; you can see how diverse we are. If you look at the ecosystem, all the animals that live in it are all different species living in a symbiotic relationship.
“Our diversity shouldn’t be a source of weakness; it should be a source of strength if we agree to come together,” he said.
The former Speaker further said that if Nigerians were determined to work together, build bridges, and reach out to one another, the country would conquer all its challenges.
He urged the Tarok people and their guests to agree to be peace ambassadors and start by working for peace and unity in Tarok land and extending it to Plateau and Nigeria.
