HAPPY 66TH INDEPENDENCE ANNIVERSARY, NIGERIA

On this historic occasion, I warmly congratulate Nigerians at home and in the Diaspora as our great nation celebrates 66 years of independence.

On 1st October 1960, Nigeria became an independent nation, beginning a remarkable journey marked by triumphs, challenges, sacrifices, resilience and progress.

From the First Republic through the Civil War, military and democratic eras, Nigeria has continued to evolve, demonstrating the enduring strength and resilience of her people.

As a retired military officer, I particularly honour the gallant men and women of our Armed Forces and security agencies, past and present, who have sacrificed and continue to sacrifice for the unity, sovereignty and security of our nation. 

I remember with gratitude our fallen heroes and heroines who paid the ultimate price for Nigeria.

At 66, our greatest responsibility is to build on the sacrifices of the past and create a better future. 

Nigeria's diversity, youthful population, human resources and abundant potential remain powerful assets. With unity, good governance, justice, patriotism, hard work and commitment to national development, we can build the Nigeria we all desire.

Let us celebrate not only our independence, but also our shared identity, resilience and hope for a greater Nigeria.

May God continue to bless our leaders, protect our Armed Forces, strengthen our people and grant peace and prosperity to every part of our beloved country.

Nigeria at 66: We honour our past, celebrate our present and look to the future with renewed hope.

LONG LIVE THE FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA !

LONG LIVE OSUN STATE !!

LONG LIVE OSUN WEST SENATORIAL DISTRICT !!!

Happy Independence Day
