Former Vice President and chieftain of
All Progressives Congress, Atiku Abubakar restates his commitment to the
development of his home state of Adamawa, especially as it recovers from the
effects of terrorism.
In a statement released by Atiku Media Office in Abuja to mark the 25th
anniversary of the creation of Adamawa state, Atiku hails the efforts of the federal
and state governments, international organisations and especially the
AUN-Adamawa Peace Initiative to ensure that life returned to normalcy for many
citizens of the state who were directly affected by the Boko Haram insurgency. The statement reads in parts
"We have been through tough times, but
the tough times have brought out the best in us," Atiku Abubakar says.
"We have seen the government and other
organisations stretch themselves beyond what we imagined they could achieve
and, today, the peace and progress in Adamawa is a testimony to their hard
work."
The Turaki Adamawa assures the state
government, the AUN-API and other organisations working for the betterment of
life in Adamawa, that they would always have his full support.
He expresses his personal commitment to the
peace and progress of the entire Nigeria, but added that charity must begin at
home.
"I still aim to surpass every
contribution I have made to Adamawa and to Nigeria so far," he says.
"When it comes to the development of
state and country, this is certainly not a time to rest on our laurels."
Charity really begins at home! lesson for all our politicians to learn
