A civil society organisation, The Civil Liberties Organisation, CLO has called on Nigerians to be patriotic and honest towards actualizing the dreams, hopes and aspirations as a great country.
The group’s Chairman Anambra State Chapter Vincent Ezekwueme made the call while speaking in Enugu on the way forward as the country celebrates her 59th independence anniversary.
Ezekwueme also called on leaders to imbibe patriotism and abandon selfish tendencies in the desire for the good and development of the country.
He also urged the citizenry to partake actively in electoral processes, payment of taxes, respect for constitution and constituted authority and making necessary sacrifices for the common good.
According to Ezekwueme, the highest independence gift Nigerians expect from the leaders is to change politics positively from transactional to transformational and result-oriented.
