Nigeria @ 65: Orovwuje Urges Gratitude To God Unity, Support For Tinubu

As the country celebrates her 65th anniversary, Nigerians have been called upon to embrace peaceful co-existence, unity of purpose as well as show gratitude to God for seeing the nation this far in the face of some daunting challenges.

This call was made by Archbishop Philip Orovwuje, Leader, Ward 4, All Progressive Congress (APC), Ethiope East Local Government Area of Delta State in a statement made in Effurun, he said that God has been good to Nigeria and her people.

According to him, ‘as we mark our dear nation’s 65th anniversary, I urge us all to embrace peace, live in harmony and work in collaboration with President Ahmed Bola Tinubu led administration to properly position Nigeria for greatness.

“There is plenty of hope for a much more better Nigeria in the years ahead. Let’s be prayerful and remain patriotic towards moving Nigeria to greater heights.”

Archbishop Orovwuje said that since Nigeria gained independence in 1960, the country has fared better economically and in infrastructures under the leadership of President Tinubu.

He noted that the notion people have about this administration on plight of the common man is wrong adding that the removal of fuel subsidy has really helped improved the nation’s economy.

Archbishop Orovwuje added, “what comes from the fuel subsidy removal has been channeled into many other sectors of the economy including high monthly allocations from the Federal Accounts Allocation Committee (FAAC)to States Governments and Local Government Councils which are visible in the country.

” Yes, it appeared at first, the fuel subsidy removal was punishment on the people by the President Tinubu led administration but today, it is visible that it is a blessing to the nation because, the monies from the subsidy removal have been effectively utilised by the Federal Government to better the lots of the people.”

Archbishop Orovwuje said that it is noticeable that prices of most foodstuffs are gradually coming down in the overall interest of the people.

He spoke further, “the onus is now on the various State Governments and Local Government Councils to effectively deploy increased allocations to them for the maximum benefits of their people. The people should hold their Governors and Council Chairmen accountable.

“There is no gain saying the fact that the administration of President
Tinubu has done well for the nation. I am saying this not because l am a member of APC, far from that, if we observe properly, the economy of the nation has become stable, prices of food stuffs and other essential commodities go down on daily basis and it would continue to go down.”
