The presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in the last general election, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, has called on Nigerian children to be hopeful that the situation in the country would get better.
The former vice president spoke on the occasion of this year’s Children’s Day.
He said with such a spirit, they would join in the efforts to make Nigeria better.
His message is contained in a statement issued by his media aide, Mr. Paul Ibe.
His words: “No matter how tough and trying the situation in the country may appear today, Nigerian children must believe that things can and will get better.
“This conviction will help them see in themselves the solutions to the multiple challenges our country faces.
“It will strengthen them to not turn their backs on their country at a time when she needs them most, no matter how rosy life may appear in other shores.
“From chess champions to acclaimed artists, Nigerian children have been in the international headlines recently for exceptional achievements despite all odds.
“These shining lights are just an example of the potential in you, our children.”
