It was a unanimous verdict by all political juggernauts across party lines and traditional rulers from South-west, South-east and Northern extractions, as well as the Chief of Army Staff, Lt Gen Farouq Yahaya, that the event represented a unifying platform for confidence and trust building, that Nigeria could subdue all its challenges with all hands on the plough. It could also be perceived as one of the instruments to unify Nigeria and mend the widening gulf currently creating cleavages due to distrust caused by widespread insecurity, which had left scars of suspected ethnic cleansing and profiling. Having a deep retrospect of the entire scenario, one might be convinced that it was another demonstration of handshake across the Niger. To demonstrate that the ceremony was more of a unification agenda, rather than politics, Lawan stormed the town with over 30 Senators, including the PDP federal lawmakers from Enugu, Senator Chuckwuka Utazi and Senator Kola Balogun from Oyo State and other top Nigerians from the corporate and traditional circles. Bigwigs at the occasion dropped their sentiments and operated as one, which they believed could be upgraded to higher pedestal to rescue Nigeria from the dungeon. In actual fact, the happenings there vividly negated the foregoing. Sola Fatoba, Deputy Governor Bisi Egbeyemi and others at the occasion.

Some pundits, who have penchant for rushing into hasty conclusions on issues might read political meanings to the ceremony, because of the presence of All Progressives Congress(APC) heavyweights like Senators Opeyemi Bamidele, Basiru Ajibola, Hon. Periscoping what transpired at the occasion and the emotion -laden tone with which Senator Lawan spoke, one could decipher that he was deeply worried just like other members of the Senate at the ceremony. Undisputably, Lawan’s elaborate and colourful honourary chieftaincy ceremony was facilitated by Senator representing Ekiti Central Senatorial District and close ally of the Senate President, Opeyemi Bamidele, who is an illustrious indigene of the town.
