National leader of the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN), Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu, says leaders of opposition parties remained resolute in their desire to reconstruct Nigeria.
According to him, the opposition parties will create a chance of a bright and better future that will erase poverty, unemployment and insecurity.
Tinubu noted that there are leaders in this country capable of chasing away “the demons” whose activities have remained a source of impediment to growth.
Speaking at Kano University of Science and Technology (KUST), Wudi, yesterday, when he was conferred with a honorary doctorate degree, he said, “History teaches that those who stay resolute shall win in the end; we are resolute for there is no shame in wanting democracy, no shame in wanting prosperity, fighting against poverty, ignorance and diseases, just as there is also no shame in believing in justice, striving for a better life and demanding good governance.”
The ACN leader went on: “A heavy cloud hovers over-head and there seems to be no woe by which we are not besieged: poverty, unemployment, diseases, religious and ethnic divides as well as terror, sadly, our house is weak because of poor infrastructure.
“All that is needed to address the country’s problem is to possess the willpower to face the challenges, and education plays a vital role in this direction”.
The ceremony turned to a political gathering with the attendance of the CPC presidential candidate in the 2011 polls, General Muhammadu Buhari; governors of Ogun and Oyo states, Senator Ibikunle Amosun, Senator Bola Ajimobi respectively; former Ogun state governor, Olusegun Osoba; Mr Nuhu Ribadu, and speaker of the house of Representatives, Aminu Waziri Tambuwal.
