Former President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan has said that Nigeria can triumph over its pressing challenges. Jonathan made this statement in his congratulatory message to Nigerians on the nation's 64th Independence Day event on October 1, 2024. In a message shared on his social media platform (X), Jonathan acknowledged the financial struggles that Nigerians are experiencing following the removal of fuel subsidies by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. A large number of individuals have been protesting on the streets nationwide in a peaceful manner to voice their concerns over the state of the nation. Addressing the problems of poverty, hunger, and various social and political issues impacting the nation, Jonathan promised Nigerians that there is hope on the horizon. “As we mark this important day, I encourage Nigerians to remain optimistic, resilient, and committed to our nation’s greatness despite the odds. With a common purpose, zeal, and love for one another, we can overcome our challenges and build a prosperous nation where every citizen has equal opportunities to thrive,” the former President noted. Below is Jonathan's Independence Day message to Nigerians. "Today, we mark a significant milestone in our nation’s history—the 64th anniversary of Nigeria’s independence. This is a time to remember and honor the nationalists who fought to end colonial rule. Since 1960, we have made measured strides in various sectors, overcoming countless obstacles in our journey of nationhood. We have seen sustained democracy in this Fourth Republic for 25 years, following the end of military rule in 1999. Our economy has shown perceptible growth, and we have continued to sustain our unity and belief in the social fabric of our nation. However, we still face significant challenges that test our resolve and resilience as a people. These challenges include our inability to meet our goals regarding security, economic growth, national cohesion, and infrastructure development. To deepen our democracy and foster inclusive economic growth, we must strengthen our institutions and develop a democratic culture that supports peaceful, transparent, free, and fair elections. This is the foundation of good governance, sustainable democracy, national unity, and peaceful coexistence. As a nation, we must recommit to the principles of justice, equity, and inclusion. We should harness our diversity, tap into the potential of our youth, and leverage our natural resources for the benefit of all. As we commemorate this important day, I encourage Nigerians to remain optimistic, resilient, and committed to our nation’s greatness despite the odds. With a common purpose, zeal, and love for one another, we can overcome our challenges and build a prosperous nation where every citizen has equal opportunities to thrive."
