Let’s Use Our Diversity For Prosperity - Tinubu

All Progressives Congress (APC) National Leader, Sen. Bola Tinubu, on Monday urged Nigerians to recognise the value of diversity and use it for the prosperity of the country.

Tinubu made the call at a public presentation of a book entitled: ‘Battlelines: Adventures in Journalism and Politics’, a memoir of Chief Olusegun Osoba.

The book is a 341-page autobiography of Osoba, a former governor of Ogun State, with records of his life as a journalist and a politician. It was launched to mark his 80th birthday in Lagos.

Tinubu said that the APC recognised the place of unity in diversity, which informed the ‘broom’ symbol of the party.

“When we proposed our symbol of APC as a broom, what we meant is our unity in diversity.

“Different heights in a broom. You cannot see a single broom tied together of the same height, unless you cut it.

“Our problem in this country is that instead of using our diversity for prosperity, we continue to use our diversity for division, either religion or tribe.
