I believe Nigeria is meant for greatness. As the convener of Nigeria prays, I led all groups to pray for the good of our land. Regardless of the diverse difficulties that we have been grappling with since independence, our country shall attain the greatness it wants to have,\u201d he said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cThe notion of our greatness is evolutionary though the pace can be made to go faster.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cThe second notion of envisioning a new Nigeria addresses the leadership question. Our country may not have gotten this in 62 years as an independent nation but we\u2019ve all done our best. This should not undermine our search for quality leadership.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cWe speak of leadership that seeks to make our unity in diversity work. We speak pf leadership that makes our leadership internal and external safe for everyone. Leadership that is concerned about making democracy work. Leadership that makes Nigerians extremely proud of their green pastures.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Gowon said he believes Fayemi in writing the book, must have pondered on these issues from his \u201cvantage position as a two time governor of his state and chairman of Nigeria governors forum (NGF)\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cI have associated with him for several years. Seeing his determination to make public service work in the public interest of citizens is why I find it easy to accept his invitations to various functions. It is my way of challenging him to do more. Not just because he has the capacity but so that he place himself at the right side of history,\u201d he said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cLike the rest of you, I\u2019m here to enjoy the presentation of a good book written from the perceptive of a fertile mind.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"s1\">Some of those present at the book launch include Babajide Sanwo-Olu, governor of Lagos state;\u00a0<span class=\"s2\">Abdullahi Ganduje<\/span><\/span><span class=\"s2\">, governor of Kano; Dapo Abiodun, governor of Ogun state; and\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"s1\">Ibrahim Gambari, chief of staff to the president who represented President Muhammadu Buhari.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former military head of state, Yakubu Gowon has stated that he believes Nigeria will attain greatness despite many challenges.
