We Will Raise The Bar Of National Discourse Among Nigerians And Reset The Barometer Of The Nation That Will Set All Of Us On The Same Page-Prince Osibote

 Today history is being made with take-off  of an annual  memorial lecture in honour of a distinguished son of Nigeria ,Dr Frederick Isiotan Fasehun the founder of Oodua people's congress (OPC)

   

This epic event could not have come at a better time like this,given the multifaceted challenges facing the country and the determined quest for national rebirth and renaissance in the largest Black nation on earth.we celebrate a man whose vision and legacies have outlived him.we must beware of OPC impostors whose postures are at variance with Dr.fasehun's vision.

   

Vision on its own is not enough but hard work,focus,dedication and loyalty are required to translate a vision to reality.

Prince Osibote the National president of Oodua People's Congress said that those in the mainstream of OPC are assailed by requests and pressure from well-meaning nigerians and other critical stakeholders to reinvigorate  the machinery of OPC as a veritable bridge builder and reconciliatory agent and that is one of the objective of the lecture.

        

Prince osibote said that Oodua people congress will raise the bar of national discourse among Nigerians and reset the barometer of the nation such that all of us can be on the same page.

     Therefore,it is no surprise that all the dignitaries from major ethnic group that make up the federation,cutting across all professional background and creed have converged to rekindle the hope of nationhood with common national identity and engrave in the subconscious of all Nigerians a deep sense of patriotism and nationalism.

     

we have come a long way as a people and a country that have traveled through many rough roads and paths,paid huge prices and suffered enormous deprivation. We have all wronged one another in one way or the other,made a mistake and some of us failed to show remorse even when we are conscious that we erred advertently or otherwise.

We are saddened by the state of insecurity in the land,the challenge is exacerbated by unbridled poverty ,illiteracy and ignorance,coupled with lack of vision and character by a section of the Nigerian political class. we frittered away ample opportunities that came our way to consolidate on our strength  as human capacities and natural endowments. Rather than building enduring institutions but allowed individuals to establish fortresses,build business empires and deploy their affluence to hijack the political space and the economic corridors we need a paradigm shift from the degradation,rot and decadence before our society further degenerates and descends into the abyss.

      Prince osibote the national president of Oodua people congress said that Nigeria remains a potentially great threat to other major powers,including the advanced economies and democracies and assure that OPC will not derail in its  chosen path of speaking the truth,protecting the rights of Nigerians and imbuing the culture and values of integrity,discipline,honour and prestige,we will ever be firm,open,cultured and discipline as true discipline of Dr Fasehun.He noted.
