It’s a year of decision, says Senator Tinubu

SENATOR  representing Lagos Central Oluremi Tinubu has described this year as a year of decision for Nigerians.

In a New Year message, titled: “The way forward”, the senator urged Nigerians to rededicate themselves to the pursuit of their aspirations.

She expressed delight that her constituents, Lagosians and Nigerians saw the end of 2018, a year she noted was characterised with ups and downs.

The message reads: “2018 was an eventful year. Fraught with issues ranging from farmer-herdsmen clashes to increment in minimum wage, the year also saw the emergence of aspiring candidates of the various political offices on the platform of the 91 registered political parties.

“Regardless of what cards life dealt you, 2018 is over. Thus I welcome you to 2019, full of hopes, dreams and revolutionary ideas. Beyond a change of dates, it is a new opportunity to repurpose yourself, re-channel your energy and pursue your dreams. It is for us all, a new beginning, individually and collectively.

“Collectively, we have a chance to decide the leadership of our great nation, Nigeria for the next four years. In making this decision, we must be mindful of its impact on our future and the future of the unborn generations.

“Realising the weight of this responsibility, we must approach the general elections determined to exercise our civic within the ambits of law and devoid of selfish interest and gain. You must embrace peaceful elections, not letting your conscience or votes be bought.

“The start of the year determines largely, the rest of it. Thus, we must go into the New Year determined to be better and to do better. 2019 should not be the year of unrealised goals and visions. Start well, start early, and keep at it.”
