“The future of the country lies in its ability to achieve unity and peace and would be much easier to attain if leaders at all levels allow justice and fair play to govern their actions,” Hon. Wase noted.

He stated that when people believe in the fairness of their leaders, they would be ready to do everything within their power to protect their fatherland.

The Deputy Speaker while maintaining that the future of the country is bright, appealed to groups that are aggrieved in one way or the other and espousing separatist sentiments, to drop their agitation and take advantage of the improving political climate in the country, to seek accommodation in the larger united national community that is fast unfolding.
