A member of the House of representatives Hon. Obi Aguocha, has called on Nigerians to strive for a society where every citizen will enjoys equal opportunities and rights, irrespective of tribe, political, or religious orientation through adherence to the rule of law and respect for judgment of courts of competent jurisdictions.
Aguoch who represents Ikwuano, Umuahia North and Umuahia South Federal Constituency started this in a press statement in Abuja.
According to the lawmaker, as Nigeria celebrate her 63rd independence anniversary, it behoves the nation and government to recommit itself to the principles of equity, justice and fairness as the cornerstone to a prosperous and united Nigeria – one which offers genuine and practical hope to its teeming citizens.
He said “focus should be most especially on the youths who are ever increasingly feeling disenchanted and agitated, and often are left behind, lives of hopelessness, insufficient opportunities and despair. Undoubtedly, they are the future that starts now.
“I earnestly pray that together, we shall strive for a society where every Nigerian enjoys equal opportunities and rights, irrespective of tribe, political, or religious orientation through adherence to the rule of law and respect for judgment of courts of competent jurisdictions.
“Respectfully, I make particular reference to our continued plea and demand for the unconditional release of my constituent, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, from unlawful detention in compliance with the extant Judicial pronouncements.”
