As a stakeholder in the political and economic development of our country, I observed the undiluted followership zeal here in the holy land and I want to enjoin us to emulate it for the corporate development of our country..” Furthermore he said for us to get to a desired promised Land, we must see ourselves in Nigeria as one and deviate from promoting anything that could encourage division, whatsoever.
