He added that the economic situation of the country, the political challenges, poor social conditions, and security crises are strong factors that could make the people unhappy and reduce their enthusiasm to celebrate as they usually do every first day of October.
However, Saraki urged Nigerians to remain hopeful, stating that there is light at the end of the tunnel. He highlighted the country’s abundant natural resources, youthful population, and dominance in the financial technology (fintech), sports, entertainment, medicine, and academics as reasons to be optimistic about the future.
“All these give me hope that the future will be bright for our country. We only need to be more diligent and effective in the choice of our leadership and the followership should strive to be a positive influence on those who administer the country,” he said.
Saraki also prayed for God to heal the country, guide both the leaders and the followers right, and “help our youths the truth to know”. He also reiterated his prayers for the security forces who are fighting to secure the country and give them victory over the enemies of the state.
“May peace and prosperity return to our country so that we can all celebrate her greatness once again. Happy Independence Anniversary to all Nigerians”, he stated.
