As Nigeria celebrates 65 years of independence, the Social Democratic Party (SDP) has called on leaders at all levels to place security, peace, and good governance at the forefront of national development.
Hon. Femi Olaniyi Ferrari, SDP’s Chairman of Chairmen, in a statement personally signed and released in Abuja on Tuesday, paid glowing tribute to Nigeria’s founding fathers whose sacrifices, he said, remain a beacon of hope for future generations.
Ferrari stressed that insecurity continues to ravage communities nationwide and urged urgent action to guarantee the safety and welfare of ordinary Nigerians.
“Our challenges must be tackled through democratic means, emphasizing good governance, transparency, and accountability,” he said. “By harnessing our collective potential, we can make meaningful investments in education, healthcare, and infrastructure.”
He also underscored the importance of unity in diversity, calling for a Nigeria where every citizen enjoys equal access to justice, fairness, and opportunities.
“Happy 65th Independence Anniversary to Nigeria! May we persist in our efforts to build a nation that exemplifies freedom, justice, and prosperity for all,” Ferrari declared.
He concluded with a rallying note: “Long live SDP! Long live Nigeria!”
