Okoh made this plea in his New Year message on Monday, particularly addressing the recent attacks in Plateau State where armed bandits’ assaults resulted in the tragic loss of about 148 lives and the destruction of 221 houses.

In his message, the CAN President condemned the bandits as “enemies of progress” seeking to overshadow joy, highlighting the attacks as a stark reminder of the fragility of peace and a recurring nightmare that has happened too frequently.

He urged Nigerians not to succumb to discouragement, emphasizing the need to embrace diversity as the foundation for a stronger and more harmonious nation.

The statement reads in part, “As we stand at the dawn of a new year, I want to first express my deepest gratitude to Almighty God for His unfailing protection and mercies that have seen us through the year 2023. It is by His grace that we have been preserved, overcoming the trials and tribulations of the past year.”

“In the face of these adversities, it is imperative that we, as a people, refuse to be discouraged. Instead, we must come together and remain resolute in our commitment to build a united, peaceful, and prosperous nation. It is in our togetherness that we find the strength to withstand the trials that beset us. In unity, there is hope, resilience, and the power to rebuild. Let us embrace our diversity and allow it to be the bedrock upon which we build a stronger, more harmonious nation.”

He urged citizens to look to the year ahead with renewed purpose, drawing strength from faith, shared values, and a determination to overcome the challenges facing the country.
