He also called for sacrifice and commitment towards strengthening the unity, socio-economic and political well being of the country.
The governor, who made the call in an independence anniversary message signed by his Chief Press Secretary, Chukwudi Achife, noted that “contemporary events and circumstances in the country were enough to compel all Nigerians to pursue ideals and visions that can only foster greater national integration and advancement.”
“The nature of the challenges facing the nation today, more especially those concerning insecurity and frequent natural and unnatural tragedies, was enough to foist on all Nigerians a new sense of solidarity and comradeship that would enable them pool their resources together and pull the nation out of her current challenges,” he added.
Chime equally commended Nigerians for being able to sustain democracy after many years of military rule.
He said the sustenance of democracy was the major building block for rapid development in all sectors of the nation’s economy. The governor urged Nigerians not to allow any person or group to halt the current momentum of progress being recorded in different aspects of national development, stressing that all efforts must be made to root out divisive and subversive elements in the society.
He further prayed that God would grant Nigerian leaders the wisdom and courage to tackle the country’s multifarious problems and ensure that the dreams of the founding fathers were all actualized in order to secure the well being of present and future generations of Nigerians.
