Shehu Sani, a former senator from Kaduna Central, has stated that true national unity is brought about by the ideas of freedom, justice, and equity rather than the national anthem alone.
He said this on Wednesday at the State House Conference Centre in Abuja during a luncheon held in honour of Democracy Day.
Sani also informed Chief Bola Tinubu of his responsibility to be successful.

He said in part, “Mr President, i will like to draw your attention to this fact and this truth, A national anthem cannot unite a nation, a national pledge cannot unite a nation, a constitution cannot unite a nation.
“A nation is united by the ideals of freedom, a nation is united by equity and by justice. “This democracy was not a gift given to us by the military, it was not a lottery that we won, it was a product of struggle and sacrifice.
“Mr President, you have a duty to succeed. If you succeed, we will share your glory becuase you came from the trenches, you came from that struggle, you came from that period of struggle. “Mr President, if you fail, they will say that those of you who fought for democracy have nothing new to offer Nigeria.”
