SENATE President Godswill Akpabio has assured Nigerians that the country will overcome its current difficulties and continue on the path to greatness.
Speaking yesterday at a special service held at the National Christian Ecumenical Centre, Abuja, to mark Nigeria’s 65th Independence anniversary, Akpabio, who represented President Bola Tinubu, emphasized the need for unity and collective support for government policies.
“The President has asked me to remind Nigerians that the principal word on this anniversary is unity,” Akpabio said. “Nigeria must remain united.
“The challenges we face today will not last forever. We must not hate one another but let love lead. If we stand together, there is nothing we cannot achieve.”
Drawing from Psalm 46, Akpabio highlighted Nigeria’s resilience and insisted that God’s hand continues to guide the nation.
He pledged continued commitment to fostering peace, prosperity, and progress.
“Indeed, there are challenges, but we believe they will soon pass. Our duty is to light the torch for unity and development,” he added.
Also present at the service were Secretary to the Government of the Federation, George Akume, and the National President of the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria, Bishop Wale Oke, who likewise called for stronger unity among citizens.
