Independence at 62: Nigeria shall rise again – Atiku

Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has felicitated with Nigerian people on the occasion of the 62nd Independence Day anniversary.

The presidential flagbearer has assured Nigerians that the country will rise again.

The PDP flagbearer has through a statement made available by his media office in Abuja, the country’s capital on Friday revealed that the celebration of Nigeria’s Independence Day is an expression of hope that Nigeria will overcome all challenges.

Waziri Adamawa revealed that the celebration is another chance of rebirth of the Nigerians’ consciousness towards the restoration of unity in diversity in the country.

Atiku claimed that the growing lack of unity is the cause of Nigeria’s challenges.

The statement party reads : “the Wazirin Adamawa noted further that, though 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 problems is traceable to the increasing lack of unity amongst us.

“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”.

Atiku has appeal to the members of the international community to continue to be confident and continue to trust the country.
