The Committee on Human Rights and Social Justice, International Peace and Governance Council of African Continental Chapter of the United International Peace and Governance Council of Africa (UNIPGC) Africa has called for eradication of corruption, insecurity, economic depreciation, political rigmarole, unhealthy rivalry, and other vices in Nigeria.

It said these vices have inhibited Nigeria’s growth. Chairman of the committee, Muritala Sambo, who spoke with journalists, yesterday, on the sideline of his confirmation as chairman of committee of Human Rights and Social Justice (IPGC) by the United Nations International Peace and Governance Council of Africa during an international peace & security summit in Morocco, alleged that many Nigerians are not patriotic.

Sambo said: “Unlike other countries in the world that are not self-reliant, Nigeria is blessed with everything to survive without support from any country but nothing works for her. Actualisation of peace in Nigeria is not complex, though multifaceted but achievable with the determination of the government to take the lead by firstly institutionalising an automated system, which is free from human manipulations regardless of class or status. The next is that the love of the nation should be prioritised, and most importantly to every citizen. A higher percentage of Nigerians do not love this nation.

“The atrocities some Nigerians have committed against this nation to bring us to this derogatory position have no better explanation than lack of love for the country. The caption, ‘God bless America,’ is the talesman that has floated the United States (U.S.) up and above others. Next is dialogue and reconciliation: In the game of corruption and system circumvention, several people, states, communities, tribes, groups, institutions, and others have been wronged and cheated and there is a need to reconcile through dialogue if we must forge ahead as a nation.

“These three pillars will create a wonderful magic and every other thing will fall in place. With a good system, corruption, insecurity, economic depreciation, political rigmarole, unhealthy rivalry, and other vices will be synchronised by a good system in place and everything will align.”
