Former
President Goodluck Jonathan has stated that Nigeria will survive in 2016
regardless of the seeming problems.
In his New
Year message posted on his Facebook page, Jonathan also expressed optimism for
peace, prosperity and unity of the citizenry.
He wrote:
“In the 80s, our people sang and danced to the hit song ‘Nigeria go survive’. I
am convinced that in 2016, Nigeria will not only survive, she will also thrive
and help drive the peace, prosperity and unity of all her people.”
He urged
Nigerians to make 2016 a turning point year by embracing one another and
working as a team to advance the nation’s frontiers in all fields of human
endeavour.
“On behalf
of my family and I, I would like to wish all Nigerians a Happy New Year.
“We are all
brothers and sisters born from the womb of one Nigeria and as I have said
previously, we would not be Nigerians if God did not will it.
“Having
found ourselves as Nigerians by the divine providence of God, let us celebrate
our Nigerianness and make 2016 our turning point year in which we embrace each
other and work as a team to advance the frontiers of Nigeria in every field of
human endeavour.”
