Independence Day: Is Hope For Nigeria To Emerge Among Greatest Nations--- Rt. Hon. Edionwele

-

The honourable member representing Esan West, Esan Central and Igueben Federal Constituency of Edo State at the National Assembly, Hon Joe Edionwele urges Nigerians not to lose hope in the ability of the country to emerge among the world’s greatest nations, but rather team up with government to bring about positive changes that would ensure progress and development.

Speaking concerning the Nigeria’s 61st Independence Day Celebration, Hon Joe Edionwele said there is a strong need for Nigerians to cohabit in love and be extremely tolerant of others to pave the way for the peace of God to reign which in turn would ensure transformation of the country.

The honourable member who said despite the numerous challenges confronting Nigeria, there is still hope, expressing optimism that there would soon be a time when people from all over the world will be thronging the country to see and appreciate God’s greatness.
“Despite our challenges, we still have hope that in our lifetime, people will be rushing to Nigeria like Dubai and America.

“The truth is that there is hope for Nigeria and this reminds me of Martin Luther King Jr. who had a dream for America. For Nigeria, it is possible as well and it is going to happen in our lifetime,” the honourable said.

He added that it is important for the people to be reminded of the powerful desire for peace, unity and the need to sustain and deepen democracy.
He also said Nigeria had so much to be thankful and grateful for, irrespective of the differences, adding that the country was already on the right path to greatness.

According to him, “As we celebrate this year's  Anniversary of our independence, we know we are on the right path. Although we have our differences, they count far less than the values, virtues and common aspirations that unite us as a nation. We have so much we should be grateful for, and in which we should rightly take pride.

“My message to Edo people and Nigerians in general is captured in the book of Galatians chapter 5, verse 13 which says ‘Brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion of flesh, but by love serve one another’. I implore  everyone to cohabit in love, be tolerant to your neighbors and let the peace of God rule in our state and nation.”

Besides, Hon. Joe Edionwele eulogizes the labour and sacrifice of Nigeria’s heroes past to free the country from colonial rule, adding: “More than ever before, we owe it a duty to the younger generation to come together as brothers and sisters, to collectively develop lasting solution to our challenges, so that the labour and sacrifice of our founding fathers will not be in vain.

“As we celebrate the 61st independence, I enjoin all Nigerians to keep working and praying for the continued unity and peace of Nigeria and the development of the same,” the Honourable said.
