Former Speaker of the Kwara State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Dr. Ali Ahmad has said that with the country now 60 years it’s time to reunite and forge ahead with the spirit of nationalism, burying all differences, religious or political affiliation in order to make the country work well for all Nigerians.

The  Associate Professor of Law, who was speaking in Abuja earlier today on Judiciary and electoral accountability in Nigeria at an event organised by Civil Society forum on Constitution reform, stressed that it’s glaring that at 60 years of Nigeria Independence from colonial masters, it has not in any way matched the dream of our founding fathers.

According to a statement personally signed by him, Ahmad noted that with committed leadership, determination and respect for the rule of law Nigeria would be great and be recognized in the comity of nations. He charged leaders at all levels to be stoically committed to socio-economic development with stable political life that will usher in new lease of life to our economy to better the lots of our downtrodden and make agricultural sector more vibrant, with a lot of incentives that will make it attractive, as this will bring job opportunities to our teeming jobless masses.

Adding that “we must do whatever it takes to protect our Nation’s Sovereignty and nascent democracy to be robust, with promise of pursuit of happiness of everyone ”.

Ahmad also used the opportunity urge  Kwarans to redouble their efforts at moving with time to make their economic life far reaching by going into Agricultural mechanization/business “As Kwarans we must take advantage of our cherished vast land to maximize its utilization, that way we shall get out of poverty,”.
