INDEPENDENCE: UWAJUMOGU SALUTES IMOLITES, CALLS FOR EMULATION OF FOUNDING FATHER’S

The former Speaker, Imo state House of Assembly and the Senatorial candidate of the All Progressive Congress APC, in the March 2015 general elections, Rt. Hon. Benjamin Uwajumogu, has congratulated Imolites and indeed all Nigerian’s of good will, on the commemoration of Nigeria’s independence anniversary, insisting that the country has witnessed tremendous progress in the area of focused leadership, anti-corruption and fight against terrorism.

In his independence message to Nigerian’s, which was released by his Media office, the former Speaker, while describing Nigeria as a country that is presently experiencing revitalization and positive change in all facets of its National life, admonished Nigerian’s to support the government of the day, in its effort to completely reposition the country, for the common good of all Nigerians and to ensure tolerance and peaceful co-existence among their neighbors.

He reminded Nigerians of the need to ensure that the sufferings, imprisonment, death and most importantly, the sacrifices of its founding fathers toward a united and prosperous country do not go in vain. Adding that Nigeria has every reason to celebrate, having surmounted huge obstacles and dangerous pits on its way to nationhood.

Rt. Hon. Uwajumogu, further maintained that the sacrifices and unity of purpose exhibited by the founding fathers, during the colonial days should be an indispensable virtue every Nigerian must strive to emulate in our daily living.

The former Speaker however, urged well-meaning Nigerian’s to always remember the less-privileged individuals amongst them as they celebrate, while wishing all, a peaceful and rancor-free celebration
