The former president of Nigeria, Dr. Goodluck Ebele Jonathan took to his social media page to wish Nigerian a happy independence day.
He wrote on his Facebook page:
Happy 56th Independence Anniversary to all Nigerians. I call on all my beloved countrymen and women to remain patriotic by praying for and supporting governments at all levels to build up Nigeria.
Remember, do not think of who will make Nigeria great. Instead, think of how you will make Nigeria great. May God bless Nigeria and may God bless her people. GEJ.
