Tambuwal urges team work to consolidate nation’s unity

-


Sokoto State Governor, Hon. Aminu Waziri Tambuwal has called on Nigerians to imbibe the spirit of team work to consolidate nation’s unity.

Tambuwal who spoke in Uyo the capital of Akwa Ibom state when he joined two other northern governors who took part in festivities to commemorate this year’s Christmas, said Nigeria’s diversity is a source of strength which should be cherished and nurtured for the benefit of the people.

The two other governor’s were Abdulaziz Yari of Zamfara and Abubakar Atiku Bagudu of Kebbi states.

The trio joined Governor Udom Emmanuel to felicitate with him over the birth of Christ and as well commiserate with him over the recent tragedy which claimed scores of lives after a church building collapsed in Uyo early this month.

Speaking when he met with Governor Emmanuel, Zamfara state governor and chairman of the Nigeria Governors Forum (NGF), Abdul’aziz Yari described the tragedy as unfortunate.

The governor explained that the decision to set up an investigative panel to unravel the causes of the collapse was a right move in the right direction.

“Your Excellency’s miraculous escape from death in the sad incident, is surely one of the God’s wonders.

“We at the Governors Forum received with shock, the sad news of the church’s collapse and we want to send message of solidarity to the people and government of Akwa Ibom over this unfortunate incidence. Our prayers are with those who lost loved ones, and those who sustained injuries,” Yari added.

While responding, Governor Emmanuel thanked the visiting Governors especially for choosing a holy day like the Christmas day to visit Akwa Ibom.

He described Nigerian Governors as a big and important family, saying the unity exhibited by the visit will further cement the cordial relationship between the peoples of Nigeria.

Bobbi Kristina died on Sunday age 22 six months after she was found face down and unresponsive in the bath-tub of the Roswell, Georgia, home she shared with then boyfriend, Nick Gordon, 25. Gordon is now a person of interest to investigators attempting to piece together the events that led to Bobbi Kristina’s untimely death. But according to TMZ, he has still written to Bobbi Kristina’s father and Pat Houston begging for permission to attend the funeral service. The email states: ‘I loved Krissi with all my heart and I am destroyed that she is gone and I need to say goodbye. ‘Krissi loved me very much and she would want me there’. The chances of him being accepted by the family are, however, slim to none. The Houston family has slapped him with a $10million lawsuit alleging that he abused her and stole her money while she was in a medically induced coma. While Gordon has been a figure of controversy with Bobby Brown banning him first from his daughter’s hospital bedsi

    Christen had an alarming wake-up call one day about the toll that technology was taking on her life -- and her family. "I realized several years ago that I had stopped looking in my children's eyes," the HopeLab President and CEO said at a Huffington Post panel at Ad Week on Tuesday . "And it was shocking to me." Christen's "a-ha" moment was an alarming one, but it's more common than you might think -- and it points toward a larger, and often undiscussed, byproduct of excessive screen time. The decline of eye contact is well-documented , and as we spend more and more of our time staring at screens, there's less time left over to look into people's eyes -- including the eyes of the people we care about most. Between staring at computers during the work day and regularly gazing down at our phones, Americans spending more time with their eyes glued to their screens than ever before. According to recent estimates ,
