In an Independence message by his Chief Press Secretary, Sam Onwuemeodo, Okorocha assured that with the “sound policies of the current administration, such challenges will soon be things of the past”.
He said: “This is not the period to discuss the country’s shortcomings but a time to discuss the successes of the Country at 57 and what must be done to move the nation forward.”
He noted the nation needs to persevere at the moment with unity of purpose.
The governor urged Nigerians to pray for the nation and its leaders, especially President Muhammadu Buhari.
