Atiku Abubakar, the Peoples Democratic Party’s (PDP) presidential candidate, greeted Nigerians on the celebration of the nation’s 62nd Independence Day anniversary and promised that the country would rise once more.
In a message released on Friday in Abuja by his media office in honour of Nigeria’s 2022 Independence Day, the former vice president made this comment.
The commemoration of Nigeria’s Independence Day, according to Abubakar, should reinvigorate residents’ awareness of the need to strengthen their nation’s diversity and unity.
According to the PDP presidential contender, Nigeria has overcome numerous difficulties since attaining independence 62 years ago.
“The democracy we currently enjoy is the necessary remedy for the problems we are currently experiencing.
“Although Nigeria faces many difficulties, including the inadequacy of our economic plans to provide for a sizable portion of our population that lives below the poverty line and security skirmishes that regularly endanger the safety of Nigerians’ lives and property, the root cause of these issues can be found in the growing lack of unity among us.
We will overcome our obstacles and install the Nigeria of our dreams, Abubakar assured. “However, I assure you that as one people and under the canopy of one country sharing in one future, we will do so.”
As Nigerians prepare for the general elections the following year, he pleaded with them all to prioritise the subject of fostering national cohesion.
“Nigerians should vote for political leaders that have a track record of promoting peace and togetherness.
“I believe that when we address the problems that continue to undermine our sense of national unity, we will inevitably address problems that disturb our sense of peace and security and, as a result, create an atmosphere that can foster economic growth,” Abubakar added.
The PDP presidential candidate urged all of Nigeria’s allies in the world community to be optimistic about the nation because “as a people, we never give up.”
He urged all religious believers in the nation to continue pleading with God to maintain Nigeria a peaceful, prosperous nation for the sake of all its citizens.
