The senator representing Abia North at the National Assembly, Orji Uzor Kalu has joinee other Nigerians in celebrating the 63rd independence anniversary of Nigeria and urged Nigerians to unite for the sake of nation building.
In his goodwill message in commemoration of Nigeria’s 63rd independence anniversary, Kalu congratulated Nigerians home and abroad, adding that the country’s diversity should be seen as a tool for growth and development.
However, Kalu, a former governor of Abia State and now, Senate Committee Chairman on Privatization, while stressing that the peace and unity of the country is not negotiable, cautioned the political class against inflammatory and provocative utterances.
While applauding the invaluable contributions of Nigeria’s founding fathers to the social, economic and political development of Nigeria, he called on the executive, legislative and judiciary arms of government to discharge their duties and responsibilities in good faith for the good of the country.
“As we mark this milestone, it is important for Nigerians across the globe to contribute to the growth and progress of the country.
“Nigeria is blessed with enormous human and natural resources and as such, we must join hands with leaders at all levels of government in driving sustainable development. Let us see the good in our country and be positive minded in our endeavours”, the senator said.
