….Calls For More Prayers, Tolerance, Patriotism
ABUJA: The Allied Conservative Congress (ACC) has expressed optimism of a greater and better country with a testimony of God’s faithfulness tomorrow if Nigerians remain prayerful, tolerant and patriotic.
The party stated this in a statement made available to newsmen as the country commemorates its 64 Independence Anniversary.
In the statement by its National Chairman, Rev. Olusegun Peters, the party said that “God has been gracious to us, it is by His mercy that the country remains united despite political upheavals, economic stagnation, socio-religious disharmony and insecurity. Notwithstanding, there is hope of a brighter future.”
It also reflected that the country’s 64th Independence is “yet another opportunity to do serious soul-searching and renew our faith in the fatherland.”

While noting what it described as enormous challenges to overcome in the process of nation building, it went on to stress available opportunities if citizens “collectively resolve to build a prosperous democratic nation with conservative ideology.”
“It is obvious that there is hardship and hunger in the land, compounded by insecurity. The Federal Government should take governance seriously and act fast to revive the economy and restore national security.
“Nigerians are fed up with excuses by elected public officers on why they cannot deliver dividends of democracy and usher in a new era of prosperity. It is time to hold governments at all levels accountable as obtainable in advanced democracies.
“A country blessed with much human and natural resources cannot be impoverished by self-seeking politicians and their cronies.
“It is time for well meaning Nigerians to stand up and be counted in the quest for a new, better and greater Nigeria.
ACC will continue to champion good governance and the enthronement of genuine democracy with conservative ideology. It is the panacea to the nation’s perennial economic, political and security challenges. With God on our side, Nigeria shall be great again,” it emphasized.
