It gladdens my heart to welcome you all to 2020, the year we all have been waiting to see. ~ Says Oluyi Akintade

By Oluyi Akintade, Oodua Youth Coalition President

The Oodua Youth Coalition President, Mr Oluyi Akintade Tayo, congratulate the government of the Federal Republic of Nigeria for another decade of uninterrupted democratic rule as a nation without threat to our sovereignty, unity, oneness and territories. I'm also calling on President Muhammad Buhari to reflect on his promises in the area of security, the most prominent challenge facing us as a nation. 

Just days ago, the President met with security chiefs and I hope their discussions and briefs will provide lasting solutions to these seemingly endless insurgency, banditry, terrorism and tribal and ethnic violence rampaging the Nigerian nation.

I pray too that the President allows the rule of law take its place in the continuous detention of Agba Jalingo, the Calabar-based journalist charged for treason by the Cross River state governor. This Prisoner of Conscience should be released without any stringent conditions attached to his freedom.

I wish you all a prosperous, new year, better chances, bigger dreams and fruitful endeavours.

Wishing you peace, love, health and happiness in 2020.
