Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, has shunned loud celebrations for Nigeria’s 63rd Independence year in the State.
The governor who called for Prayers instead has sent the directive to Citizens of his state.
Nigeria is scheduled to celebrate her 63rd Independence Day celebration on the 1st of October, being Sunday.
However, Adeleke, who spoke in a statement by his spokesperson, Olawale Rasheed, urged Osun residents to pray for the continuous peace and prosperity of Nigeria.
“Let us use the Independence Day to meditate and pray on the state of our nation. Our people are passing through tough times.
“It is time to take stock and seek divine intervention and guidance in the affairs of our nation.
I greet Osun people and Nigerians in general as the Independence day knocks at our doors. Here in Osun, we will celebrate with meditation and prayers,” he said.
