As we celebrate the 60th Independence Anniversary of our dear country, I congratulate Mr. President, Muhammadu Buhari, the Government and People of Nigeria. Ours have been 60 years of opportunities, landmarks and challenges. But we have overcome the centrifugal forces of a civil war, political impasse, insecurity issues and economic upheavals through resilience, shared values and collective will as a people.
We have in the last 21 years shaken off political uncertainties and run unbroken democracy. During these years, we have spoken as one people and given to ourselves, self-government, and nurtured the tenets of democracy. We have, in the process, proved our mettle as a nation under the prevailing circumstances. This should convince and encourage us that we have what it takes to survive our current challenges and come out stronger and better.
Going forward, we must live in love as one people under God and continue to always employ dialogue, especially at these challenging times to achieve the peace, unity, national integration and prosperity that we desire as a nation.
Let us continue to find and employ new ways to talk and collaborate to build a strong, united, indivisible and prosperous Nigeria.
LetLfelicitate the People of Osun on this historic event and I thank you all for always championing the cause of peace, unity and progress for the development of our dear State. Your collective resolve is the foundation for our government’s on-going equitable and sustainable socio- economic and infrastructure development.
The Development Agenda on which we anchor our government has provided solutions to our challenges in all spheres, building our critical sectors – health, education, economy, agriculture and infrastructure – to put us on the lane of prosperity, progress and sustainable development.
As part of the Federating Units of the nation, we shall continue to responsibly pursue ends that will achieve the vision and dream of our fatherland.
Our enormous population and abundant resources are our strength and source of global respect. We should persistently engage to find better ways to convert these enormous potential to local and international advantage for the good of the people and the nation.
Let's always be guided by the motto of our nation, Unity and Faith, Peace and Progress at all times, as those pillars will make the country perform its responsibilities to the people and compete in a globalised world.
Happy Celebrations!
