As Nigeria marks its fifty ninth independence anniversary today, the
speaker of the State House of Assembly, Honourable Uche Okafor says
God has continued to shape and superintend over the affairs of the
country despite numerous challenges.

In his message to mark this year’s independence anniversary,
Honourable Okafor expressed satisfaction with the contributions of
foremost political leaders who fought for Nigeria’s independence
towards the corporate existence of the country, describing them as
selfless and visionary leaders.

The speaker while wishing Nigerians especially Ndi Anambra a happy
independence celebration, enjoined them to embrace virtues that will
uplift the people and unite the nation.

He called on the nation’s ruling political class to see the peace and
progress of the country as a priority by formulating policies and
programmes that would benefit the masses.

Honourable Okafor enjoined both government and private security
operatives in the state to join hands with Governor Willie Obiano in
sustaining his security initiative which he said is the best in the
country, and called for equitable distribution of the nation’s
resources among the six geopolitical zones of the country.
