Fayemi Preaches Peace, Unity At Independence Anniversary

A former governor of Ekiti State, Kayode Fayemi, has called on Nigerians to keep hope alive and see the current challenges as necessary sacrifices for the emergence of a truly great nation.

In a message signed by Mallam Ahmad Sajoh, head of the Fayemi Media Office in Abuja, Fayemi said the independence anniversary provides an opportunity to renew hope and belief in Nigeria, confident that the country will soon deliver on the promises of its founding fathers.

According to Fayemi, the independence anniversary serves as an occasion to reflect on the journey as a nation, acknowledging the challenges the country has faced, the progress and the resilience that defines Nigerians.

“Our country has come a long way since its independence in 1960. We have overcome many challenges and have achieved many successes. We have made significant progress in education, healthcare, and infrastructure development.

“However, we are still faced with many serious challenges. We need to continue to work hard to address poverty, inequality, and insecurity. We also need to do more to create jobs for our young people and to build a more prosperous and inclusive nation for all.

“I urge all Nigerians to embrace the spirit of unity, tolerance, and cooperation as we move forward. As we celebrate this year’s Independence Anniversary, I am optimistic about the future of Nigeria. I believe working together we can overcome all our challenges and build a better future for our country,” he added.
