Don’t demarket Nigeria, Osun Speaker urges citizens

Abimbola Abatta, Osogbo

Nigerians have been charged to desist from the steady demarketing of the nation on social media as no investor will be attracted to a badly reported country.

Citizens and residents were equally urged to promote the positive sides of the country.

The Speaker, Osun State House of Assembly, RT. Hon. Timothy Owoeye said the above in a statement by his media aide, Kunle Alabi to commemorate Eid-Al-Fitr.

Owoeye stressed that the continued efforts of some Nigerians using the media to always exaggerate happenings in the country to the international communities will do no good to the Nation.

He held that with determination and patriotism, the country will overcome her present challenges of criminal activities.

According to him, “It is not in doubt that the past one month has been a period of sober reflection’s and closeness to the Almighty Allah by all Muslim faithful over the world, Nigeria and Osun. The period has afforded us to pray for the peace and unity of our state and Nation.

“We must not stop at Ramadan, we must continue to pray fervently for Nigeria so that the current situation can become a stepping stone to greatness.

“Though it is not yet Uhuru with our security but we are beginning to witness that the military and other security agencies are recently on top of their game in combating insurgencies and kidnappings. We will definitely rejoice at the end of the day.

“I will also want to enjoin those at the helm of affairs to always prioritise people’s welfare and place their interest above individual and personal aspirations. Political office holders should inculcate right attitude that will guarantee peace and stability of Nigeria.”
