A house divided by it cannot stand. As a country, we should know that we are one people all of us sharing the common dream and aspiration. We are a great family of one people created by God. Our common enemy is not the color of our skin or the place of our birth or the language of our tongue, our common enemy is poverty, corruption, social injustice and inequity that are the war we must defeat and win.
