Igwe Samuel Asadu, the Chairman, Enugu State Council of Traditional Rulers, has felicitated with President Bola Tinubu, the Federal Government and all Nigerians as the nation marks its 65 years of independence.

Nigeria gained independence on Oct. 1, 1960.

Asadu, who is also the Traditional Ruler of Edem Ani Ogugwu Ancient Kingdom in Nsukka Local Government Area of Enugu State, also congratulated Gov. Peter Mbah and the people of Enugu State.

Asadu extolled the unwavering spirit of Nigerians whose sacrifices and dedication continued to sustain the nation’s unity and progress.

He hailed the courage of Nigeria’s founding fathers and celebrated the resilience and diversity that characterised the strength of the nation.

Asadu, who is the immediate past Chairman of South East Traditional Rulers, commended the ongoing efforts to reposition the economy, strengthen democratic institutions, and foster national renewal.

He urged Nigerians at home and in the diaspora to remain steadfast in love for the country, united in purpose, and committed to the shared vision of a peaceful and prosperous Nigeria.

Asadu prayed for God’s wisdom, strength, and protection for Tinubu, Mbah and others as they steered the affairs of the nation and called for continued peace, equity, and development across all parts of Nigeria.

“On behalf of Enugu State Traditional Rulers and the good people of Edem Ani Ogugwu ancient kingdom, I extend my heartfelt felicitations to Tinubu, Mbah, the Federal Government, and all Nigerians at home and in the diaspora.

“Sixty-five years ago, our beloved country attained the priceless gift of sovereignty, setting us on a journey of unity, peace, and progress.

“Today, as we celebrate this remarkable milestone, we pay tribute to the resilience, industry, and enduring spirit of the Nigerian people whose sacrifices and hopes continue to drive our nation forward.

“I commend the dedication to national renewal, economic transformation, and the strengthening of democratic institutions.

“These efforts reflect a commitment to the Nigeria of our dreams, one where equity, justice, and prosperity are shared by all.’’

According to him, the anniversary is a solemn reminder that the task of nation-building belongs to every Nigerian.

“Let us therefore remain steadfast in love for our country, united in purpose, and unwavering in our collective resolve to overcome current challenges and secure a brighter future for generations yet unborn.

“May the Almighty God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria, guide our leaders, and grant us lasting unity and prosperity.

“Happy 65th Independence Anniversary, Nigeria!” Asadu said.(NAN)

The North Central Development Initiative (NCDI), a CSO, has applauded Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda on his emergence as National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

The group congratulated Yilwatda in a letter jointly signed by Comrade Musa Ali Otigba and Alhaji Muhammad Mubarak Alabi, the Director General/National Coordinator and National Secretary of the group, respectively.

The group also thanked President Bola Tinubu for listening to the people of the North Central Zone of the country by returning the position of national chairman of the party to its original base – North Central Zone.

While pledging support for the new chairman for the success of the party, the group said Yilwatda’s emergence as national chairman of the party “at this critical moment testified to his proven track record of capacity, dedication, and commitment to the ideals of democracy, unity, and national development.

“It is indeed a well-deserved recognition of your longstanding service and unwavering contributions to the progress of the APC and the nation at large.

“As you assume this important office, we are confident that your tenure will be remarkable and marked by purposeful leadership, strategic reforms, and a strengthened internal democracy that will further reposition the party for future successes,” the group said.

“It might interest you to know that NCDI had been at the forefront of the agitation for the return of the national chairmanship position of the party to its original base – the North Central zone.

“Now that it has been achieved, we hereby pledge our loyalty and unwavering support to you, our brother, in particular, the APC as a party, and to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in his efforts to transform Nigeria.

“Please accept our best wishes for a successful tenure, while praying for God’s wisdom to lead the party with integrity and impactful achievements,” the group said. (NAN)
