Nigeria@65: Be proud of your country, Anambra gov’s wife urges Nigerians

The Anambra first lady, Dr Nonye Soludo, has called on citizens to remain law-abiding, be proud Nigerians and give up what they have to for the betterment of the country.

The Anambra first lady, who is also the founder of the “Healthy Living With Nonye Soludo”, appealed in a statement she issued on Wednesday, as part of activities marking Nigeria’s 65th Independence anniversary.

She stressed that Anambra is committed to building a state where citizens can live and work without fear and where opportunities for potential and growth thrive under a secure environment.

She noted that the journey to nationhood demands a collective vision and ambition, adding that Nigeria is a great and blessed country.

She said, “Our journey to complete nationhood is one that demands a collective vision and ambition. Nigeria is still a great and blessed nation. It takes you and me to make it even better than it already is.

No one can do that for us. We have no other home, and despite the hiccups, this is still the only place we have to embrace and feel truly accommodated.

“God has blessed this country beyond what the eyes can see. We only have to find strength around our diversity and rich history. I believe that Nigeria is still bound for greater heights.

“I still believe that our dear Nation has a lot more to give. I’m proud to be a Nigerian. I believe in the greatness of where I come from.

“Be a proud Nigerian. Give up what you have to for the betterment of this great country. There’s a reason God has made you a Nigerian.

“Happy 65th Independence Anniversary, Nigeria.”
