“Today, our nation marks another significant milestone in its journey of nationhood. Sixty-six years ago, we secured our independence and took our destiny into our own hands,” Jonathan said.
“Through the years, Nigeria has faced numerous challenges, but through our collective resilience, we have always emerged triumphant.”
Jonathan urged Nigerians to remain steadfast in faith and hope while working collectively to advance the country.
He specifically highlighted the forthcoming electoral season, saying it would provide an opportunity to assess Nigeria’s democratic maturity.
“In a few months, we will enter another electoral season, a period that will test our democratic maturity. I urge all Nigerians to remain patriotic and prioritise actions that safeguard peace, unity, and justice,” he said.
Jonathan said Nigeria had immense possibilities in the years ahead if the country’s diversity and abundant natural and human resources were effectively harnessed to drive sustainable development.
He also urged young Nigerians and other citizens to remain hopeful and courageous in working towards a better country capable of guaranteeing a prosperous future for coming generations.
However, the former President said achieving such a future would require responsible leadership at all levels.
“To leaders at all levels, this moment demands absolute responsibility and deeper patriotism,” he said.
Jonathan called on leaders to confront Nigeria’s social and economic challenges by prioritising personal sacrifice, good governance, accountability and adherence to the rule of law.
He also urged Nigerians to demonstrate greater commitment and sacrifice in national service to build what he described as a peaceful, secure and equitable nation.
“Let us remain dedicated, showing greater commitment and sacrifice in national service to build a truly peaceful, secure, and equitable nation for ourselves and the generations ahead,” he said.
