Governor Wike stated this during the inter denominational Church Service in Commemoration of the 59th Nigeria’s Independence Day Anniversary at St. Luke’s Anglican Church, Rumuodalu Parish on Sunday 29th September, 2019.
Represented by his Deputy, Dr. Mrs. Ipalibo Harry Banigo, Governor Wike said “We are committed to the social contract we have made with our people, we would make their lives better and we also pray the same for our national leadership so the nation can see itself as a nation of people of different leanings but who are one under God so that the nation can move forward”.
According to the Governor at 59, Nigeria is at cross roads with lots of challenges bedevilling us but there is no time better than now to blend as a people, noting that if we put our hearts to it we can overcome what seems impossible because we have what it takes to surmount these challenges.

“This country is truly blessed all we need to do is to love it, love its diversity and to take each one of us as a Nigerian”. Governor Wike quipped.
In his sermon the Bishop, Diocese Niger Delta North, Rt. Rev. Wisdom Ihunwo said Nigeria is blessed with men and women with great potentials, noting that there is hardly any part of the world you would not find a Nigerian doing very well because Nigeria is in the Prophetic Agenda of God.
He said celebration of the Independence anniversary is not a time for Jamboree but a time to take stock to know how far we have fared as a nation, noting that it is high time we told ourselves the truth because it is only the truth that can set us free.
