“Prof Chris has repeatedly said that all Nigeria needs is unity and a leader who can drive down the necessity and utilize the potential of our great country.
“Oneness as a theory or an ideal concept is as old as mankind itself, but yet human kind has been struggling and battling with its acceptance in spite its quality and efficiency to spark progress and development.
“When we talk about National Unity or Oneness, we must also realize that the true meaning of oneness lies in the quality of unity and togetherness, its strength and capability to solve our common problems and set us on the path of progress.
“Oneness does not arise through measurable and majoritarian views but only as a quality that comes through recognizing the common humanity in all of us, independent of our gender, caste, class and religion, regardless of our diverse background,” he said.
He stressed that was a country endowed, and rich in both human and mineral resources yet struggling to maximize its great potentials or rather getting less or no results to meet the expected progress as the largest Africans country and champion of Africa due to our refusal to embrace unity.
According to him, as a Nation we have failed to find a common ground to accept and come to terms with unity and oneness.
“There can’t be true growth, freedom, integrity and patriotism If our nation does not unite and bury our various lines of diversities.
“We must accept that the most uniting forces are not our extant laws, constitution, organizations, institutions, roads, religion or infrastructures; but the people and their willingness to unite.
“If we stay formidable and united, we could defeat many vices that have stood as confrontations and challenges to us as a nation because unity is strength.
“The progress and growth we need and desire for our dear nation lies in our unity and togetherness. This mantra and agenda is what Professor Chris Imumolen, has identified to be the key solution to our challenge of diversities.
“Therefore, Professor Christopher Imumolen, offers himself as unifier to Nigerians to reclaim the potential and dignity of our great country and get it working again.
