Continental Govt, A Must For Africa

[Shola Sholaz]

SATURDAY, May 25, 2013 was the 50th anniversary of Organisation of African Unity (OAU) now known as African Union (AU).
.
The AU Day has been overwhelmingly embraced by Africans across the entire continent. This display of continental solidarity amidst social, cultural and linguistic diversities is indicative of the long- standing dream and aspiration of African peoples to unite. Indeed, the time has come in which the AU must be turned into a continental government that is capable of shaping the will and destiny of Africans.
.
I want to use this medium to salute the founding fathers of the Organisation of African Unity (OAU), which is now the African Union (AU), the current leadership of the AU as well as the innumerable civil society organisations and. institutions for their commitment and contribution towards the development of the continent.
