NIGERIA AT 66: OUR HOPE MUST REMAIN ALIVE!

As Nigeria marks her 66th Independence Anniversary, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) joins all Nigerians at home and abroad in celebrating our great nation.

The PDP acknowledges that, as a nation and as a people, we are not yet where we aspire to be. However, we must not despair. The future of Nigeria remains bright, and our collective hope must remain stronger than our present challenges.

Nigeria is a blessed nation, endowed with enormous human and natural resources. Let us harness these resources, alongside our rich ethnic, cultural and religious diversity into an instrument of unity, creativity and national progress.

The PDP therefore calls on all Nigerians to continue to preach peace, unity and national cohesion. Our leaders and followers alike must remain patriotic, reject violence and corruption, and always place the interests of Nigeria above personal and sectional considerations.

Above all, let us build a nation where our young people can dream, aspire and look to the future with confidence and hope.

The PDP as a political party is committed to democracy, good governance and the welfare of the Nigerian people. We are poised to providing the alternative platform and leadership needed to help Nigeria realise her full potential and achieve the dreams and aspirations of her citizens.

As we celebrate our nation, let us honour the sacrifices of our founding fathers and all those who have contributed to our national development, and ensure that the labour of our heroes past shall not be in vain.

Together, let us renew our commitment to building a better Nigeria and restoring hope for the younger generations.

Nigeria has what it takes to rise!
Nigeria shall be great!!

Happy 66th Independence Anniversary, Nigeria!

Signed.

Hon. Jungudo Haruna Mohammed
National Publicity Secretary
