Distinguished Senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and former Governor of Zamfara State, Senator Abdul’aziz Yari Abubakar, has joined millions of citizens to celebrate Nigeria’s Independence Day, describing it as a sacred milestone that embodies the nation’s resilience, unity, and unwavering hope.

In a congratulatory message, Senator Yari extended warm felicitations to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, and to all Nigerians at home and abroad, stressing that October 1st goes beyond a date on the calendar. According to him, it represents the triumph of self-determination, the promise of self-governance, and the collective pursuit of a prosperous future.

Reflecting on the significance of the day, the Zamfara-born statesman urged Nigerians to honour the sacrifices of the nation’s founding fathers, the courage of its people, and the enduring strength in its diversity. “From the bustling streets of Lagos to the serene hills of Jos, from the industrious East to the proud heritage of the North—we are one Nigeria, bound by shared dreams and a common purpose,” he declared.

Senator Yari commended President Tinubu for his leadership and commitment to national development, security, and economic revitalization. He expressed confidence that the National Day celebration would rekindle a collective resolve to build a just and peaceful society where opportunities abound for all citizens.

“To every Nigerian, I say: stand tall, be proud, and keep believing. The journey may be long, but our spirit is unbreakable. Together, we shall rise,” Yari affirmed in an inspiring message to citizens.

He prayed for divine blessings on Nigeria, adding: “Happy Independence Day, Nigeria. May God bless our homeland and guide her path.”
