National anthem can’t unite a nation, Shehu Sani tells Tinubu
Shehu Sani, a former senator from Kaduna Central, has stated that true national unity is brought about by the ideas of freedom, justice, and equity rather than the national anthem alone.
He said this on Wednesday at the State House Conference Centre in Abuja at a special luncheon held in honor of Democracy Day.
Sani also informed President Bola Tinubu of his obligation to be successful.
“Mr. President, I would like to call your attention to this fact and this truth: A national anthem, a national pledge, or a constitution cannot unite a nation,” he stated in part.
“A nation is bound together by the principles of justice, equity, and freedom.
“This democracy is the result of our labor and sacrifice, not a gift from the military or something we won in the lottery.
“You have an obligation to be successful, Mr. President. We will share in your glory if you succeed because you come from the trenches, from that struggle, and from that time of suffering.
“Mr. President, if you don’t succeed, they’ll say that Nigeria has nothing new to offer those of you who fought for democracy.”
