As Nigeria marks her 65th Independence anniversary, the Senator representing Delta Central Senatorial District, Senator Ede Dafinone, has urged Nigerians to hold on to hope and remain committed to the dream of a better, more united country.
In a goodwill message released to commemorate the October 1st celebration, Dafinone described the milestone as a time for sober reflection and renewed patriotism, particularly in the face of current economic challenges facing the nation.
“This is not just a celebration of sovereignty,” the lawmaker said, “but a solemn reflection on our collective journey — our struggles, our triumphs, and the enduring spirit that binds us as one people.”
Acknowledging the strain of recent economic reforms, inflation, and shifting global dynamics, Senator Dafinone encouraged Nigerians — particularly the resilient people of Delta Central and the Niger Delta — not to be disheartened by the present hardship.
“Change, especially meaningful change, often comes with sacrifices,” he said. “Let us rekindle our hope and strengthen our resolve to build a Nigeria that works for all”, he added.
He reaffirmed his commitment to the people of Delta Central, assuring constituents that he would continue to advocate for their interests in the National Assembly and ensure their voices are heard.
The senator called for unity and deeper national love, adding that the Independence anniversary should be a catalyst for renewed energy in pursuing justice, equity, and prosperity for all Nigerians.
He added, “May this Independence Day renew in us a deeper love for our nation and a greater determination to see her succeed.”
