Cross River State governor, Senator Ben Ayade has urged Nigerians to
demonstrate utmost gratitude to God as the country marks 56 years of
nationhood.
Ayade who made the call in a statement signed by his Senior Special
Assistant on Media and Chief Press Secretary, Mr Christian Ita, said 56
years of Independence as a nation was a precious gift from God. He urge
Nigerians to pray for the continuous unity and stability of the country.
His words: “Fifty six years is a watershed in the history of a
nation. There is no doubt that we have come a long way and achieved so
much as a people. We have every reason to be thankful to God for the
peace, unity and security we have been enjoying.”
While urging Nigerians not to take the prevailing peace in the
country for granted, Governor Ayade reminded: “There are many countries
in the world today that peace has not only become an essential
commodity, but also a rarity. That we have remained one united country
in the last 56 years is a strong statement of our indissolubility and a
preference for peace over war.”
