The Senator representing Ekiti South Senatorial District, Yemi Adaramodu, has called on Nigerians to rededicate themselves to the ideals of unity, peace, and national development as the country marks its 65th Independence anniversary.

Adaramodu, who also chairs the Senate Committee on Media and Public Affairs, made this call in a statement on Wednesday, in commemoration of Nigeria’s independence from British colonial rule on October 1, 1960.

He said the anniversary offered an opportunity for reflection on the vision of the nation’s founding fathers, and a renewed commitment to building a better country despite current challenges.

“Sixty-five years ago, our founding fathers laid the foundation of unity, freedom, and hope,” the senator said. “Today, we are called to continue building upon that vision with resilience, patriotism, and commitment to national development.”

Adaramodu described Nigeria as a country of “immense possibilities” blessed with abundant human and natural resources, and urged citizens not to lose faith in the nation’s potential.

He also appealed to his constituents in Ekiti South and Nigerians at large to continue to nurture peace, unity, and progress.

“As we hoist the green-white-green flag with pride, I urge every Nigerian, especially my constituents in Ekiti South, to continue to nurture peace, unity, and progress. It is only by working together with faith and determination that we can overcome obstacles and secure a brighter future for generations yet unborn,” he said.

The lawmaker stressed the importance of good governance, national cohesion, and mutual respect, adding that these values remain critical to building the Nigeria of everyone's dreams.

“Let us therefore rededicate ourselves to the ideals of nation-building, good governance, and mutual respect, while keeping hope alive for the Nigeria of our dreams,” he added.

The senator concluded by extending his goodwill to Nigerians on the occasion and prayed for continued peace and prosperity for the country.
