Ayade who made the call in a statement signed by his Senior Special Assistant on Media and Chief Press Secretary, Mr Christian Ita, said 56 years of Independence as a nation was a precious gift from God. He urge Nigerians to pray for the continuous unity and stability of the country.
His words: “Fifty six years is a watershed in the history of a nation. There is no doubt that we have come a long way and achieved so much as a people. We have every reason to be thankful to God for the peace, unity and security we have been enjoying.”
