The All Progressives Congress (APC), Delta State chapter, has congratulated Nigerians on the celebration of the country’s 65th Independence Anniversary, describing it as a moment of reflection, resilience, and renewed commitment to national unity.
In a goodwill message issued on Wednesday, October 1, 2025 by the State Publicity Secretary, Valentine Onojeghuo (Esq.) the State Chairman, Elder Omeni Sobotie, said the day was not only about recalling the nation’s history but also about celebrating the enduring courage and faith of Nigerians in the face of daunting challenges.
“Sixty-five years after attaining our cherished freedom from colonial rule, our beloved nation continues to thrive because of the resilience, unity, and unyielding faith of its people,” Sobotie stated.
The Delta APC chairman highlighted the determination of the people of the state, pointing to the sacrifices and contributions of farmers, teachers, traders, youths, and other hardworking citizens who embody the Nigerian spirit of perseverance.
He urged Nigerians to see Independence Day as a call to collective responsibility, stressing the need for unity, patriotism, and peace. He further charged citizens to recommit themselves to national service in line with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda, which prioritizes economic revitalization and equitable distribution of the dividends of democracy.
Elder Sobotie also saluted the people of Delta State for their resilience and contributions to national growth, acknowledging their role in sustaining peace and progress across the state.
The statement equally commended Governor Sheriff Oborevwori’s administration for driving development through his M.O.R.E. Agenda, which the party noted has been addressing critical needs in education, security, employment, and agricultural support across the state.
“Together, let us continue to work for a prosperous Delta State under the developmental blueprint of His Excellency, Rt. Hon. Elder Sheriff Oborevwori, whose M.O.R.E. Agenda continues to meet the yearnings and aspirations of Deltans,” the statement added.
The APC wished Nigerians a happy Independence celebration, praying for continued peace, progress, and prosperity for both Delta State and the entire federation.
