In a statement issued by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Lanre Lasisi, Gbajabiamila said Nigeria has come a long way as an indivisible entity every citizen must work to protect.
He also enjoined Nigerians to pray for the country and its leaders for the entrenchment of good governance and wellbeing of the people.

“As we mark our country’s 59th Independence Anniversary, we must remain steadfast, united and prayerful for our country to remain one and overcome her challenges.
“It is also incumbent on us all as citizens to pray for our leaders so that God Almighty will continue to guide them aright. Let’s all work together as one people.
“In the face of some of the challenges confronting us as a country, we have no choice but to work hard to overcome them. As leaders, we are already doing that. But we need the support of the citizens to achieve that,” the Speaker said.
