The governorship candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) in Anambra State, Mr. John Chuma Nwosu, has urged Nigerians to use the 65th Independence Anniversary as an opportunity to recommit themselves to equity, justice, and true nation-building.

In a goodwill message to mark the anniversary, Nwosu saluted the courage and resilience of Nigerians, noting that the nation’s strength lies in fairness and inclusiveness.

“True independence means equity in employment, fairness in representation, and justice in governance,.

P “Nigeria will only fulfil her destiny when every citizen feels equal before the law, and every region gets a fair share in the distribution of resources and opportunities,” he said.

The ADC candidate added his voice to calls for the release of the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, describing it as a step towards healing, reconciliation, and unity.

According to him, “a nation cannot prosper while parts of its people remain in anguish.”

Looking ahead to his plans for Anambra, Nwosu pledged to drive balanced development, create jobs, empower the youth, and build a tech-based security system to guarantee safety in communities. He also promised to promote e-governance for transparency, support digital innovation, and invest heavily in agriculture, particularly poultry and fish production, to enhance food security.

He stressed that Anambra must reclaim its role as a pacesetter in national development, stating: “We will build a new Anambra that is productive, innovative, and exemplary. We must return to the era of setting the pace for what Nigeria can truly become.”

He on Nigerians to rise above divisions and seasonal patriotism, and to embrace unity, fairness, and love of country.

“Let this Independence Day inspire us to build a Nigeria where justice flows like a mighty river, and progress knows no tribe, no creed, and no boundary,” he stated.
