Mr Felix Morka, APC’s National Publicity Secretary, said this in a statement on Saturday in Abuja while felicitating with Nigerians on the occasion of the country’s 62nd Independence Anniversary.
Morka said that in spite of the country’s current challenges, there was hope for a more vibrant future.
He also assured that the APC-led government would continue to implement programmes of reform and innovation that would help citizens unleash their abundant talents, create wealth and contribute even more to nation building.
“We honor the great architects of our Independence for their labour and tenacious faith in the transformative power of freedom that earned for us, a nation founded on the bedrock of unity, peace and collective aspiration to infinite greatness.
“Our party is thankful for 62 years gone by, and confident that our finest hour is yet ahead of us.
“Our priceless unity as one people nourished by our diversity is at the core of our unfailing strength, and remains our best hope for a more vibrant future.
“Despite existential challenges, our commitment to unity, peace, safety, security and happiness of our people remain unassailable and above all other interests and considerations,” he said.
He added that as a country, we must reject and hold accountable, those that sought agonise our diversity to foment hate and strife, and wreak violence on our people.
Morka noted that the tireless sacrifices of the country’s armed forces and other security agencies in the defence and protection of the lives and liberty of citizens continued to be awe-inspiring.
He added that, we therefore, owed them a special debt of gratitude, prayers and support.

He commended the resilience of Nigerians and reiterated the commitment of the APC and the Federal Government to do more to improve the living conditions of all Nigerians.
“We wish to use this auspicious occasion to thank Nigerians for their highly valued support for our great party, and sustained confidence in the APC-led government.
