Ganduje felicitates Nigerians on 63rd Independence Anniversary

The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Dr Abdullahi Ganduje, has felicitated Nigerians on the country’s 63rd Independence Anniversary.

Ganduje said this in a statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Mr Edwin Olofu on Saturday in Abuja.

He called on Nigerians not to despair, saying measures were being put in place by the APC-led administration to reposition the country to achieve growth and development.

Ganduje called on Nigerians irrespective of their ethnic and religious leanings to sustain the culture of peaceful coexistence to ensure the unity and cohesion of the country.

“On behalf of the entire members of the APC, I wish to extend my heartiest congratulations to all Nigerians.

“Both at home and in the Diaspora on the occasion of the 63rd Independence Day Anniversary celebrations. I rejoice with you. I salute you all.

“Today is indeed an auspicious day as it marks an epoch in the life of our dear nation.

“Sixty-three years ago, on this very day, our beloved country was granted independence to chart its destiny and build a new nation,” he said.

He said that the journey had not been without obstacles, adding that it had been characterised by opportunities, prospects and challenges.

This, he said, included a three-year civil war which brought out the resilient Nigerian spirit of perseverance, industry and abiding faith in the country.

Ganduje emphasised that as a party, the APC would remain true to its campaign promises and pledges to Nigerians, stressing that none of its promises would escape the attention of its leadership.

The APC national chairman also said that none of the party’s campaign promises would be treated lightly.
