His words were laced with a sense of urgency, underscoring the need for Nigerians to put aside their differences and work towards a common goal.
“I believe in one Nigeria, and on its unity, I stand,” Babangida told the delegation, his voice dripping with conviction. “Thank you for following my footsteps and upholding the ideals of patriotism and national unity that we all fought for.”
