The Northern Nigeria Minority Group (NNMG), has called on Nigerians across ethnic, religious, and political divide to renew their faith, working collectively in strong unity towards building a Nigeria that truly fulfills the dreams and aspirations of the nation’s founding fathers.
NNMG in a statement by its Convener Jacob Idi – Kakaki Bassange to mark Nigeria’s 65th Independence Anniversary, commended President Bola Tinubu for his leadership choices and vision, which have placed Nigeria on the right path of progress.
According to the group, “The NNMG also salute the courage and vision of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, whose policies and leadership choices have signposted his commitment to place the progress and long-term survival and stability of Nigeria above political considerations. His boldness in tackling difficult national issues is a testament to statesmanship and a clear expression of his faith in the future of this our dear country.
“As we celebrate 65 years of independence, we must not forget that what has held us together is far greater than the forces that seek to divide us. Our diversity, resilience, and our shared hope remains the major ingredient of the Nigerian spirit and a propeller towards a brighter future.“
NNMG noted that the occassion of the historic independent day celebration offers another opportunity to reflect on the collective journey of nationhood.
The statement said over the last six and a half decades, Nigeria’s unity and resolve to remain as one indivisible nation have been tested repeatedly.
“We remian solid and unwavered. Our resilience, patience, and shared hope in the destiny of Nigeria have sustained us. We must salute the countless Nigerians who, in the face of adversity, have remained committed to the ideals of unity, peace, and progress. This is the core foundation upon which our nation is built.
“We pay a glowing tribute to our founding fathers and to all those who have had the privilege and responsibility of piloting the affairs of this great nation at different times in the course of our journey of nationhood. Their sacrifices, as well as those of the everyday sacrifices of our citizens, continue to be the cornerstone of Nigeria’s endurance,“ NNMG added.
