Oborevwori Urges Nigerians to Unite in Rebuilding Nation
…Says Nigeria Is God’s Own Country
Delta State Governor, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori, Sunday, called on Nigerians to embrace unity, justice, fairness, and equity as the foundation for building a greater and more prosperous country.
The governor made the call during an inter-denominational thanksgiving service to mark Nigeria’s 65th Independence Anniversary at St. Patrick’s Catholic Church, West-End, Asaba.
Oborevwori, who expressed gratitude to God for sustaining the nation since independence, said Nigeria’s survival despite daunting challenges was a proof of divine grace.
He said: “Every citizen has a responsibility to contribute to the Nigeria of our dreams. Independence was born out of a vision of hope and brightness for this country, and we must continue to build on the sacrifices of our founding fathers”.
He maintained that Nigeria remained a proud nation with much to be thankful for, adding that the country had withstood trials that could have led to disintegration but for God’s mercy and the resilience of its people.
The governor commended the role of the Church in sustaining national peace, noting that without the prayers of Christians and preaching of the gospel, the nation’s situation would have been worse.
He urged clerics to continue to pray for leaders while encouraging citizens to support government through unity and sacrifice.
“What we want in Delta State is peace, because development starts where peace abounds. When there is peace, we can do more for our people. Those of us in political leadership must always put the people’s interest first, not our own,” Oborevwori added.
Highlighting his administration’s achievements in infrastructure and social investments within two years, he assured Deltans that more development and empowerment initiatives would be delivered in the coming year under God’s guidance.
He also charged Nigerian youths to champion unity and righteousness, stressing that the future of the nation depended on their willingness to contribute positively.
“This country will not be rebuilt by foreigners. It is we, Nigerians, who will rebuild it. Let us make the necessary sacrifices for the brighter future that awaits us. Nigeria is God’s own country,” he said.
In his homily, the Catholic Bishop of Issele-Uku Diocese, Most Rev. Michael Elue, urged Nigerians to embrace the “good fight of faith,” stressing the virtues of righteousness, godliness, love, endurance, and gentleness.
He called on the wealthy to remember the poor, noting that “what we share with our brothers and sisters is what will count for us when we appear before God on the day of judgment.”
The thanksgiving service was attended by top government functionaries, traditional rulers, political leaders, including the wife of the Deputy Governor, Mrs. Catherine Onyeme; Speaker of the State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Emomotimi Guwor; Members of the House of Representatives, Hon. Julius Pondi, Hon. Ngozi Okolie, and Hon.

NIGERIA @65: A Nation Rising Beyond Challenges
NIGERIA @65: A Nation Rising Beyond Challenges
- Sixty-five years after independence, Nigeria remains a work in progress. A story of resilience, promise, and determination. Ours is a nation that has survived turbulence, overcome setbacks, and yet continues to stand as Africa’s most powerful voice.
This year’s anniversary is more than a ritual commemoration. It is a call to renew our sense of duty to one another and to the generations ahead. The Renewed Hope Agenda of the present administration deserves recognition for the strides already made: restoring macroeconomic stability, encouraging local production over reckless imports, investing in social interventions, and reaffirming Nigeria’s leadership on the continent. These are bold beginnings that must be sustained with consistency and urgency.
I particularly commend the words of Vice President Kashim Shettima at the 80th United Nations General Assembly. His call for a permanent African seat on the UN Security Council, for sovereign debt relief, for fair access to trade and financing, for equity in resource ownership, and for closing the digital divide so that “AI means Africa Included” captures the very essence of Nigeria’s place in the world. These are not abstract declarations, they are the lived realities that define our struggle as a nation.
In the Senate, my motions and bills have been guided by these same convictions:
•That justice must be pursued, whether through reparations for historical wrongs or reconciliation for national tragedies.
•That dignity must be guaranteed, whether through attaining veto power at the UN security council, the establishment of a National Social Security Agency or by ensuring healthcare and education reforms that work for Nigerians at home.
•That sovereignty must be protected, whether by stopping crude oil theft, ending gas flaring, or reclaiming control over our mineral wealth.
•That opportunity must be created, whether through youth entrepreneurship, diaspora voting, indigenous participation in mining, or the expansion of our digital economy.
Nigeria at 65 must choose to lead, not as a country of wasted potential, but as a nation that transforms its wealth into wellbeing for its people. We must secure our communities, empower our youth, modernize our infrastructure, and build institutions that outlive individuals. We must insist that no Nigerian is left behind. Not the farmer in the village, nor the entrepreneur in the city, or the vulnerable in need of support.
Our journey is far from finished. But if we keep faith with one another, strengthen collaboration between the executive and legislature, and place people at the center of our policies, then this decade can be the turning point when Nigeria moves from survival to greatness.
Happy Independence Day, Nigeria.
As resilience meets hope, with courage we arise stronger.
