NIG @ 61: LET’S RESOLVE TO FIX THE COUNTRY – Oborevwori

The Speaker of the Delta State House of Assembly, Hon Sheriff Oborevwori, has called on Nigerians to resolve to get the country working again.

In his message to Nigerians to mark the 61st Independence anniversary of the country, the Speaker lamented that all was not well with the country at the moment and tasked Nigerians on the need to get the country back on track of progress and development. 

While commending all Nigerians for sustaining the unity of the country, Oborevwori, in a statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Mr Dennis Otu, said all hands must be on deck in the task of nation building.

Rejoicing with Nigerians on the  Independence Day celebration, the Speaker urged Nigerians to use the occasion to spread love within their sphere of influence, just as he used the opportunity to task the citizens on peaceful co-existence. 

He noted that despite its numerous challenges, the nation was on the right  path, saying that there was light at the end of the tunnel and implored Nigerians not to despair. 

“I know that there are those that may feel we have very little or nothing to celebrate and I will sincerely tell them that the unity of the country is worth celebrating and that is why I am calling on all citizens of this great nation to take it upon themselves to get our nation working again so that the founding fathers of our country will be proud of us”, he stated. 

According  to him; ” At 61, Nigeria has faced many challenges, but we have overcome those challenges and made progress in multiple spheres of human endeavour, though there is still more to be done to achieve our dreams as a nation. 

“Let us collectively work for continued peace and unity in our great country as we do not have another country to call our own. Let us be dedicated to the enormous task of getting our country out of the woods and make this wonderful nation work again. We have to see to the peaceful coexistence of our people”, he said.
