Nigeria @ 61 Calls For Sober Reflection, Make Nigeria Great Again – Seun Kuti

Famous Nigerian Singer Seun Kuti has posited that Nigeria doesn’t deserve to celebrate on their 61st Independence day.

He did back his claim with some reasons while lamenting about the current status of the country. According to the convener of the group Movement of the People, Nigeria nearly collapsed because it is troubled with high level of insecurity, hunger and employment.

Here is what he had to say about the 61st Independence of the country. He wrote;

“It is fitting to bring you all warm solidarity greetings as we celebrate the 61st anniversary of our dear nation! Even though there is nothing to celebrate, owing to the near-collapse in the state of our dear nation.

“With the worrisome level of hunger, insecurity, high rate of unemployment, and wanton looting, the celebration of today’s anniversary calls for a sober reflection and the need to re-organise ourselves to get involved in the democratic process with the view to set the nation on the road to recovery.”

Seun also urged Nigerian youths to participate in the voting process to make Nigeria great again.   “The decision to get Nigeria working from this moribund and mechanistic level is in our ‘thumbs’ and it is neither in the bombs nor bullets. The Movement of The People has now given every Nigerian of voting age the political platform to chose credible leaders across the 36 States and 774 local government of the federation,”

“The ongoing voter’s registration exercise is the starting point and all eligible Nigerians must get their voters card as the 2023 election has given us an ample opportunity as a people to collectively unite using the M.O.P as a platform to dislodge dealers called leaders,” he said.
