“Nigeria is on course to greatness” …Obasa Celebrates Nigeria @65

Published

on

Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Mudashiru Obasa has congratulated Nigerians on the nation’s 65th independence anniversary, stating unequivocally that more than at any time in her chequered history, Nigeria is on course to greatness.

In a statement issued by Adeshina Oyetayo, Special Adviser to the Speaker on Research, Media, and Documentation, Obasa said, “This anniversary is not just a celebration of 65 years of our sovereign nationhood, it is a celebration of our diversity and dynamism as a nation, our unity and resilience despite the crippling challenges and hiccups that we faced and survived, and the progress we have made over the past two years especially.”

Obasa commended Nigerians for their patience and understanding during the hardship that trailed the ongoing economic reforms, adding that, thankfully, the worst is now over.

He stated, “The economy, like President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, said recently, has turned a corner. We are no longer where we used to be. The worst is behind us. The economy has stabilised and it’s strengthening. Now, we can look forward to a Nigeria that has shaken off her lethargy and complacency, to take with vigour and vibrancy her rightful place among developed economies of the world.”

The Speaker also praised President Tinubu for the concerted efforts put into stabilising the economy and securing the nation, and for his “impactful leadership and infrastructure initiatives that are fostering national renewal since assumption of office.”

Referencing the theme of this year’s celebration, “Nigeria @ 65: All Hands On Deck For A Greater Nation,” Speaker Obasa called for more prayers and support for the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Tinubu, which he said is the perfect panacea for Nigeria’s plethora of problems. He urged Nigerians to come together in unity and celebrate not only Nigeria’s past achievements but also her assured greatness.

Any Ambition Against Senator Nwoko’s Second Term Bid Is Selfish, Unnecessary —APC Chieftain

Published

on

By

As Senator Ned Nwoko positions for a return to the National Assembly, a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Chief Emmanuel Eboh, has described any opposing ambition as self- serving, unnecessary  and detrimental to the peace and development of Delta North Senatorial District.

Speaking in an interview in Abuja, Chief Eboh, a former civil commissioner in Delta State, said Senator Nwoko continues to enjoy widespread goodwill and the support of the people of Delta North, popularly known as Anioma.

While acknowledging that political aspirations are legitimate in a democratic setting, Eboh cautioned against what he termed the “unacceptable drift towards turning politics into a family enterprise and a tool for power control and manipulation.”

He called on residents of Aniocha/Oshimili Federal Constituency and the wider Delta North district to resist  “the inordinate ambition of some Shylock politicians driven by selfish motives and unrestrained personal interests.”

The APC stalwart warned that personality-driven ambitions, rather than people-oriented leadership, could
lead to  avoidable rivalry and division within Delta North.

Chief Eboh maintained that Senator Nwoko’s performance in office has been commendable and deserving of re-election, citing key interventions in rural road construction, electrification, education, potable water supply, and empowerment programmes.

He further highlighted the senator’s sustained advocacy for the recognition and identity of Anioma, noting that it was “unprecedented in the political history of the district”.

According to him, “Senator Nwoko has not only met expectations but surpassed them. He deserves re-election, particularly given the fact that the core constitutional responsibility of a senator is lawmaking for the good governance of the nation.”

Eboh said the people of Delta North regard Nwoko as a progressive leader who embodies unity and dignity across Anioma, stressing that he should not be distracted by unnecessary political contestation.

He reaffirmed that the senator’s commitment to the growth and development of Anioma remains unwavering and urged constituents to sustain their support for his return to the Senate.

The APC chieftain also called for continued backing of Governor Sheriff Oborevwori and President Bola Ahmed Tinubu ahead of the 2027 general elections.
