THE First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, has urged Nigerians to unite and make personal sacrifices in building the nation of their dreams.
This call was contained in her message as the country marks her 65th independence anniversary on October 1.
The President wife in the message titled: “Nigeria at 65: All hands on deck for a greater nation”, told citizens to always think on what they can do for the growth of the country and not what the country can do for them.
The message reads: “Are you a politician, asking what your country can do for you or a zealous one, asking what you can do for your country? If you are the first, then you are a parasite, if the second, then you are an oasis in a desert”. 1925 Essay, “The New Frontier” Gebran Kalil Gebran.
“My Fellow Citizens, ask not what your country can do for you – ask what you can do for your country. “My fellow citizens of the world, ask not what America will do for you, but what together we can do for the freedom of Man.” January 20, 1961 inaugural address of United States 35th President, John F. Kennedy.
“Let us all play our part to build a Nigeria we all want to see. Your sacrifice will never be in vain.”
