INDEPENDENCE DAY: EKITI APC LEADER, DELE PHILIPS PREACHES PEACEFUL COEXISTENCE, UNITY
As Nigeria commemorates 63rd Independence Anniversary, a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress in Ekiti State, Mr. Dele Philips has commended Nigerians for their resilience and enduring spirit.
In a statement signed by his Media Aide, Iyiola Adetola, the APC leader emphasized that no development could take place in a rancorous environment, calling on all stakeholders to come together in the interest of the future of the citizens and the country.
In his words, “we should prioritise peace and unity, especially at I use this medium to commend the resilience and enduring spirit mustered by the Nigerian people throughout our Nation’s eventful journey thus far. Our unity remains our greatest strength. Amid diversity, we have demonstrated patriotism and exhibited unity; knowing fully well that only through our undivided strength we can overcome the numerous challenges confronting us.”.
The Aramoko-born business man noted that “Independence day gives us a sense of reflection, celebration, and anticipation. It is a time for us to reflect on the sacrifices made by our heroes past, who fought tirelessly for the freedom and sovereignty we enjoy today”.
Philips further urged Nigerians to be resolute and optimistic in spite of the challenges affecting the country.
“Our journey over the past six decades as a sovereign nation has been characterized by remarkable successes, and yet inevitable challenges. As we reflect on our achievements on this day, we must also allow them to inspire us to focus more on the promising future that lies ahead, amid the surmountable challenges.
“As we come together to celebrate this historic day, let us also rededicate ourselves to building a brighter future for our country. Let us continue to work towards a society that is inclusive, just, and thriving for all its citizens.
We must continue to embrace our diversity and forge ahead in unquenchable patriotism for our country and unbreakable unity to give life to the dreams and visions of our founding heroes”.
Philips who contested the 2003 house of representatives election commended the Ekiti State Governor Biodun Oyebanji for living up to expectations since he assumed office.
“We can witness a degree of infrastructural intervention that has created a new hope in making Ado-Ekiti the state capital a befitting one while the nooks and crannies are not left out”.
Philips therefore called on the people of Ekiti State to give adequate support to Governor Oyebanji to succeed in his determination to leave Ekiti State better than he met it.
