Governor Ahmed who gave this advice in his independence anniversary congratulatory message to Nigerians signed by his Chief Press Secretary, Alhaji Abdulwahab Oba, said despite the prevailing national challenges of insecurity and divisive tendencies, there were strong reasons for Nigerians to celebrate the country’s independence; including the fact that Nigeria’s capacity to overcome challenges has not ebbed as every national challenge had been surmounted over time.

The Governor recalled that the reports of the recently held national Delegates Conference that Nigeria’s national unity remains non-negotiable was a sound testimony that Nigeria must remain together and play critical role in the international community.
