The Allied Conservative Congress (ACC) has expressed the need for patriotism by Nigerians, saying the need for patriotism cannot be overemphasized in this trying period of our nationhood.
In a statement issued by the national chairman of the party, Rev. Olusegun Peters, to felicitate with Nigerians on the occasion of the celebration of Christmas, he enjoined Nigerians to set aside their differences and join hands with ACC in building a better, stronger and prosperous democratic nation that future generations will be proud of.
“ACC will alleviate the sufferings of the populace by providing the fruits of democracy that will revamp the economy and usher in prosperity and sustainable development.
“This is in tandem with Section 14(2)b of the 1999 Constitution as amended, which states that, ‘the security and welfare of the people shall be the primary purpose of government.’ Nigerians desire and deserve a good deal from their governments,” he said.
He called for a conservative ideology, which the Allied Conservative Congress champions. “We commend millions of Nigerians for embracing the ACC conservative ideology. It is the panacea to multifarious political, economic and social challenges citizens face. As more Nigerians embrace the conservative ideology of integrity, morality, patriotism etc, in place of personal aggrandizement that breeds corruption, violence and bad governance, Nigeria will regain its lost glory,” he added.
