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.”
The governor further enjoined Nigerians to team up to build a greater and prosperous country where everyone will be proud of.
