He said: “Nigerians unpacified, aggrieved, dissatisfied and disenchanted with manifestations in the system should eschew bitterness.
“Arise Nigeria deemed the resolutions of January 29, 2020, by the two chambers of the National Assembly (NASS), asking President Buhari to resign over security challenge was hasty and impulsive.
“Arise Nigeria, UK recently met in the United Kingdom under the convergence auspices of a consultative symposium, comprising eminent personalities, which is by all yardstick, is a fair representation of the full House.
“The deliberations focused on some recurrent/subsisting vital and sensitive national issues. These matters, enumerated above have been the concerns of Nigerians, as President Muhammadu Buhari navigates ambitiously into the #NextLevel of his administration.”
Ojua explained that the restiveness in the country would come to end, urging all to contribute their quota to nation building.
“The future of Nigeria, as a country is secured for prosperity. Nigeria’s external reserves today (2019) stands at US$42.5 billion from US$23 billion in October 2016. These are reflective of favourable changes.
“The Federal Government has taken steps to intensify security for the lives and property of all Nigerians irrespective of wherever they reside in the country. The armories of the Nigerian military have been constantly replenished.”
