- Senator Jibrin Barau reassures Nigerians that the country’s challenges are manageable and calls for unity, peace, and support for President Tinubu’s agenda
- He urges citizens to remember the sacrifices of the founding fathers and remain committed to their ideals of national unity and justice
Senator Jibrin Barau, Deputy President of the Senate, has assured Nigerians that the country’s challenges are manageable.
In his message on the 63rd anniversary of Nigeria’s independence, Barau encouraged Nigerians to recommit themselves to the founding founders’ ideals.
On Saturday, his special adviser on media and publicity, Ismail Mudashir, informed the deputy senate president of this.
Barau urged Nigerians not to lose hope, adding that President Bola Tinubu is committed to fulfilling his campaign promises to Nigeria.
The lawmaker, who represents Kano North for the All Progressives Congress (APC), urged citizens to remain steadfast in their support for national unity.
He urged them to back the government and pray for success in turning the country’s fortunes around.
The Deputy President of the Senate reaffirmed President Tinubu’s commitment to economic revival, security, and other challenges confronting the country.
Fellow Nigerians, happy Independence Day. As we celebrate the 63rd Independence Anniversary – the liberty from colonial rule,” Barau said.
We must remember the enormous sacrifices made by our founding fathers; Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe, Chief Obafemi Awolowo, Sir Ahmadu Bello and Sir Abubakar Tafawa Balewa, among others, and recommit ourselves to the ideals they preached including the promotion of national unity, peace, justice, and tolerance.
Yes, at 63, we have some challenges facing us as a country but they are surmountable. We will overcome them. Our country will come out stronger of its present challenges, by God’s grace.
Let’s continue to support President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to actualise his policies and programmes as encapsulated in the Renewed Hope Agenda. He has good intentions for the country. We will get it right, he said.
Joining the calls on organised labour to shelve its planned strike over petrol subsidy removal, he said there were genuine moves by the government to cushion the effects of subsidy removal.
