2023: Osun Speaker, Owoeye, charges Nigerians to hope for a better country

The Speaker of the Osun State House of Assembly, Timothy Owoeye, has urged Nigerians and the people of Osun to put the hardships of the previous year behind them and look forward to a better Nigeria in the year 2023.

In a new year message delivered by his Media Aide, Kunle Alabi, the Speaker urged Nigerians to vote for tested and quality politicians in this year’s general elections in order to usher in a rapid economic recovery.

Owoeye also emphasized that residents and citizens must wait in the hope that all that was lost due to the previous year’s economic hardship can be recouped through determination, hard work, and perseverance.

He reiterated that the country would overcome its economic and security challenges as Nigeria enters a new period of economic prosperity in the coming year.

“I encourage my good people of Osun and Nigerians to rise in hope and take their destiny in their hands as they step into the year 2023. Everyone’s small contribution to the country’s development will go a long way toward making Nigeria a better place.

“We must also take seriously the general elections this year, every hand must be on deck by ensuring that the election is free and fair from violence, and quality people who can move Osun and Nigeria to greater heights must be voted for.

“When voting, we must vote for the best, regardless of our tribe, religion, or personal interests. Our common enemy is ‘poor infrastructure,’ it does not know you, it does not respect you, and we will all suffer together unless we use our votes wisely.

“A little contribution from you, a little contribution from me and we shall eventually have a better state and country.

“You and I both know that there can be no success or breakthrough in the presence of darkness. No matter how hopeless a situation appears to be, it can be changed with the right attitude; if we all put the country first in everything we do, the change we all seek will occur within our lifetime.”
