The members of Nigeria Peoples Alliance (NPA) have called on all Nigerians to show love, tolerance, unity and accommodate one another as the Nation celebrates her 62nd independence anniversary.
The call was contained in a goodwill message to all Nigerians signed by the secretary, Mr. Egbo Sunday on behalf of the President Hon. Cliff Otubu and other key officers of the alliance.
The group urged all Nigerians to continue to be law-abiding citizens despite the harsh economic and security challenges facing the nation. He pleaded with Nigerians at home and in the diaspora to intensify prayers for the peace and unity of the country. “We pray for our leaders to show exemplary leadership and only eschew acts that will unite all Nigerians irrespective of ethnicity, tribes or religious affiliation.”
Nigeria Peoples Alliance (NPA) is a socio-economic and political pressure group made up of Nigerians resident in the United States of America, that promotes unity and progress of all Nigerians as well as the principles of wealth creation, social justice, accountable political leadership and economic development in the country.
The group further enjoined Nigerians to reject acts that will divide us, and instead see our diversity as a unifying factor that will strengthen us rather drive a wedge between us.
The group added that the high rate of kidnapping, armed robbery, banditry and insurgency is scaring away potential and existing investors from the country thereby worsening the already battered economy of the country.
They advised that we must all continue to work toward peace in Nigeria and engage only in actions that will elevate Nigeria.
