Joshua Lidani, (Gombe south), on the floor of the Senate Thursday, while contributing to a motion sponsored by the deputy senate president, Ike Ekweremadu, on Nigeria’s 57th independence anniversary, says Nigeria is spiritually challenged.

Highlights:

• A lot of progress has been recorded in spite of the challenges… Nigeria is spiritually challenged, he said.
• With all these crimes, where is the spirituality in us? We should come back to God, so God can have mercy on us.
• Before the election in 2015, we had the largest economy in Africa. We are one of the country’s that overcame the civil war. Therefore we should continue to entrench the value of justice, Ekweremadu said.
• Nigeria has been through a lot of challenges, the journey has not been easy for Nigeria and the world, we should use this opportunity to reaffirm our commitment and do all the necessary adjustment socially, politically, and every means to strengthen our nation, Shehu Sani said. We have faced challenges that have shaken our solidarity. We should use what we have before as a lesson and move forward.
• Also speaking, Abiodun Olujimi, (Ekiti south), the leadership of Nigeria, including the leadership of the national assembly, needs to sit together and talk about the country. The time has come at 57 to take stock of all we have been through. We need congratulate ourselves because lesser nations would not have made this far.
