President Goodluck Jonathan said today that the country's problems were not within his power as a leader to solve alone, but needed the support of all Nigerians no matter the level they were.
According to him, the many Nehemiahs in the National Assembly, the Federal Executive Council, judiciary, educational and private sectors would have to assist him in rebuilding the nation just like God used Prophet Nehemiah to rebuild the wall of Jerusalem.
“Leadership at all levels is collective. One person cannot change a nation. Agreed, the leader matters but he cannot change things alone. All of us Nigerians must work together to rebuild our nation. Our men and women will change things in this country. There are so many Nehemiahs in the National Assembly, the Federal Executive Council, our judiciary, our teachers, businessmen and women and I believe God will use these Nehemiahs to rebuild the country. I can say again that Nigeria will succeed. With your cooperation we shall succeed”, the president stated.
Jonathan who spoke at the 52nd Independence Anniversary Interdenominational Church Service with the theme: “The weapons of our warfare are not carnal” taken from 2 Corinthians 10:4, said with the manner in which his administration has sanitised the electoral process, corruption will soon be a thing of the past in the country.
