As the sun rises on this new month, and our beloved nation marks her 65th Independence Anniversary, I extend my warmest wishes to every son and daughter of Abia, and to the resilient people of Nigeria, at home and across the world.
This day is more than a celebration, it is a sacred reminder of the dreams sown by our heroes, and the legacy we must uphold with courage, compassion, and clarity of purpose.
Abia stands tall, not only as God’s Own State, but as a cradle of intellect, culture, and tenacity. Nigeria, despite her trials, remains a land brimming with possibilities.
Let the fire of hope burn ever brighter in our hearts, lighting the path to a future where justice reigns, and every voice is heard.
Let us rise, not just in celebration, but in collective resolve to shape a more united, secure, and prosperous nation for generations to come.
May this October awaken the greatness within us, to dream bigger, to serve selflessly, and to build boldly.
God bless Abia.
God bless the Federal Republic Of Nigeria.
