The Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, congratulating Nigerians on the celebration of the 62nd Independence Day anniversary, assured that the nation will rise again.

The former Vice President in a statement in Abuja emphasised that “the celebration of Nigeria’s Independence Day is an event that should reawaken our consciousness towards the consolidation of unity amongst the diverse people of the country.”

The PDP presidential candidate said that Nigeria has come a long way after 62 years of independence, passing through different phases of challenges. He, however, said that “the democracy that we have is the requisite antidote to the current challenges that we face.”

The Wazirin Adamawa noted further that, “though Nigeria is beset with challenges that range from inadequacies of our economic plans to cover a large percentage of our people who live below the poverty line; to security skirmishes that daily threaten the safety of lives and property of Nigerians, the root cause of these problem is traceable to the increasing lack of unity amongst us.

He asserted that “as One people and under the canopy of One Country sharing in One future, we will  surmount our challenges and enthrone the Nigeria of our dreams.”

Atiku Abubakar stated that “as we go into the general elections next year, all Nigerians should give primary attention to the issue of building national unity.”

According to the PDP presidential candidate, “Nigerians should elect leaders who are individuals with proven track records of being protagonists of unity and peace.

“I believe that when we fix the issues that continue to compromise our national unity, we would invariably fix issues that upset our peace and security and subsequently create an environment that can encourage economic prosperity.”

Atiku further called on all friends of Nigeria in the international community to continue to have confidence in the country, asserting that “as a people, we never give up.”

The PDP presidential candidate also  called on all people of faith across the country not to relent in their prayers to God to keep Nigeria as a country of peace and prosperity for the good of all its people.
