President Bola Tinubu has said that unity is the only formula that works for national progress, urging Nigerian leaders to draw lessons from the natural confluence of River Niger and River Benue in Lokoja, Kogi State.
Tinubu said this in Lokoja at the Kogi Dialogue, which was part of the activities to mark Governor Usman Ododo’s first year in office.
He urged leaders across all levels to build bridges across the country, as well as prioritise dialogue as a tool for resolving differences and promoting national cohesion.
The president says that the confluence of the two rivers in Kogi is a metaphor for the collective strength required to navigate Nigeria’s challenges and foster unity and collaboration for the nation’s prosperity.
