As Nigeria celebrates her 64th Independence Anniversary, the Ogun State Chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) joins millions of Nigerians in commemorating this significant milestone in the nation’s history.
In a statement by the State Publicity Secretary, Mr Austin Oniyokor, PDP stated that the occasion calls for deep reflection on the sacrifices made by the country’s past heroes to secure her freedom and sovereignty.
The statement emphasized that the Ogun State PDP, under the capable leadership of Hon. (Dr.) Sikirullahi Ogundele as the State Chairman, want to use this opportunity to call on all Nigerians, especially the good people of Ogun State, to intensify prayers for the nation.
It reads in part, “It is evident that the challenges we face today, ranging from insecurity, economic instability, unemployment and social unrest, require divine intervention.
“But, beyond prayers, it is also time for all citizens to come together in unity and work relentlessly towards achieving the dreams of our founding fathers – a prosperous, peaceful and working Nigeria.
“As we reflect on our journey so far, it is important to remind ourselves that nation-building is a collective responsibility that requires the commitment of both the leaders and the followers.
“We urge the government at all levels to focus on providing good governance, addressing the needs of the people, and ensuring the principles of justice, equity and fairness are upheld.
“Once again, on behalf of the Ogun State PDP Executive Committee, chaired by Hon. (Dr.) Sikirulai Ogundele, we congratulate Nigerians on this special occasion and call for sustained efforts toward nation-building. With God on our side, with hard work, dedication and prayers, we can overcome our current challenges and build a brighter future for generations to come.
“We remain committed to the progress and development of Ogun State and Nigeria as a whole.”
