“I pray that God would favour this Nation with his Grace, Blessing and Lead us right”.
She expressed optimism in the Nation, adding that there are lots to celebrate, as a nation.
“Nigeria at 61, I believe there is a lot to celebrate, that we exist as a nation is to be celebrated, we need to celebrate because life gives us an opportunity for change, for further development, an opportunity to be the great Nation that we really want to be and ought to be, if Nigeria today no longer existed there would be no Future or Hope as a Nation”
