Atiku Abubakar. |
Former
Vice President of Nigeria and Presidential candidate of PDP, Atiku Abubakar
wishes a happy Father's Day to every father in Nigeria and beyond. Even in
death, he also wishes a happy Father's Day to our Founding Fathers, Sir Ahmadu
Bello, Chief Obafemi Awolowo and Sir Nnamdi Azikiwe. May the labours of these
our heroes past remind us that this nation was built on a quartet of Unity
and Faith, Peace and Progress, founded on Justice.
He prays that their labours, and the
labours of all fathers in Nigeria never be in vain and may God's blessings be
on the nation and the children they birthed. May extreme poverty depart our
land and in the words of the late great Chief MKO Abiola, may we soon bid
“farewell to poverty” as a nation.
He enjoins us to take a minute to
acknowledge those fathers who have left their wives, children and loved ones,
to take up residency in bushes, highways and byways in order to fight
terrorists, bandits, kidnappers and other threats to our nation. He greets
every father in our armed forces, police and paramilitary forces.
As a father, he admonishes us to
remember that the greatest gift we can give our children is to believe in
themselves. And so, today, he is asking you to believe in Nigeria, to believe
in yourselves and to believe in your children. And finally, to believe that our
Founding Father’s vision for Nigeria would come to pass by God’s grace, through
our hard work.
