Nigeria Shall Rise Again – Atiku

The presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, has congratulated fellow Nigerians on the occasion of the country’s 62nd Independence Day anniversary, assuring that the nation will rise again.

The former Vice President in a statement by his media office in Abuja on Friday said that the celebration of Nigeria’s Independence Day is an event that should reawaken our consciousness towards the consolidation of unity amongst the diverse people of the country.

He said Nigeria had come a long way after gaining independence from Britain 62 years ago and passing through different phases of challenges, stressing that the country’s democracy is the requisite antidote to the current challenges facing it.

The Wazirin Adamawa said, “Although Nigeria is beset with challenges that range from inadequacies of our economic plans to cover a large percentage of our people, who live below the poverty line, to security skirmishes that daily threaten the safety of lives and property of Nigerians, the root cause of these problem is traceable to the increasing lack of unity amongst us.”

He gave the assurance that as one people and under the canopy of one country sharing in one future, Nigerians will surmount the challenges facing their country and enthrone the nation of their dreams.

As the country prepares for the 2023 general election, Atiku Abubakar urged all Nigerians to give the issue of building national unity primary attention.

“Nigerians should elect leaders who are individuals with proven track records of being protagonists of unity and peace.

“I believe that when we fix the issues that continue to compromise our national unity, we would invariably fix issues that upset our peace and security and subsequently create an environment that can encourage economic prosperity,” he said.

The presidential flagbearer of the PDP also called on all friends of Nigeria in the international community to continue to have confidence in the country because, “as a people, we never give up.”

He urged people of faith across the country not to relent in their prayers to God to keep Nigeria as a country of peace and prosperity for the good of all its people.
