Speaker of the House of Representatives, Hon Aminu Waziri Tambuwal has enjoined Nigerians to reflect on our norms and traditions which emphasised respect to elders and care for the young as the world ushers in year 2012.
In his New Year message issued in Abuja and signed by his Special Adviser on Media and Public Affairs, Imam Imam, the Speaker said the coming of the new year, which will signal the rebirth of new hopes and aspirations, should be used by all Nigerians to return to their roots and revive the age-long tradition of communal harmony built on deference for elders and unquantifiable love and concern for the young.

“A society cannot be said to be making
progress if it loses its moral fabric. For centuries,
communities and people of Nigeria have prospered largely due to
the harmonious nature of their society. As we enter the New
Year, we should all reflect on these virtues so as to fast track
the return of peace and stability to our dear nation. We must
emphasise the aspects of our culture which promote unity,
harmony and peaceful coexistence,” the Speaker said.
While
wishing Nigerians a happy New Year, Tambuwal assured the people
that the House of Representatives will take the lead in efforts
to find lasting solutions to the socio-economic challenges
confronting the country.
Tambuwal
said the last months of 2011 have seen rise in cases of
insecurity in Nigeria. He however reiterated his calls that the
challenges are temporary and that the country would soon pass
this phase.
“Nigeria
is a country destined for greatness. While the cases of
insecurity have been source of concern for the country, I
believe it is a period we would soon leave behind,” the Speaker
added.
