REFLECTING ON THE BLESSINGS OF FREEDOM AND UNITY AT THE NIGERIAN 63RD INDEPENDENCE CHURCH SERVICE AND CUTTING OF THE ANNIVERSARY CAKE

On Sunday, 1st October, 2023, I joined the Nigerian First Lady Senator Oluremi Tinubu, Senate President Godswill Akpabio and other Principal Officers of government to attend the Inter-Denominational Church Service in commemoration of Nigerian 63rd Independence anniversary at the National Christian Centre, Abuja.

Commenting on the event, I emphasized the importance of unity and collaboration among Nigerians in order to achieve progress and development in our country. I also highlighted the need for all citizens to come together, regardless of their ethnic or religious backgrounds, and work towards a common goal of building a prosperous and peaceful Nigeria.

I also called on Nigerians to embrace the values of tolerance, respect, and understanding, as these are essential for fostering unity and harmony in our diverse society and emphasized the importance of promoting dialogue and peaceful coexistence, as well as the need to reject violence and extremism in all its forms.

I further joined in the cutting of the anniversary cake and called on all religious groups in the country to join hands in promoting peace and orderliness in the country. I also urged all Nigerians to play their part in building a better nation and encouraged everyone to actively participate in the democratic process, hold their leaders accountable, and contribute to the development of their communities. Please let us always pray for Nigeria to succeed. Together, we can overcome our challenges and build a brighter future for our country.
