    As Nigeria commemorates its 65th independence anniversary, Edo State Governor, Senator Monday Okpebholo, has described the milestone as a significant marker in the nation’s journey towards maturity, institutional stability, and socio-economic transformation.

    Speaking at a commemorative event in Benin City tagged ” independence prophetic prayers and praise programme, the governor, represented by his Special Adviser on Religious Matters, Apostle Sule Farade, emphasized that Nigeria is gradually moving into a phase defined by deeper wisdom, national cohesion, and developmental focus.

    “The 65th anniversary is not just a celebration of age, but a divine reminder that Nigeria is stepping into maturity,” Farade said on behalf of the governor. “We are witnessing transformation across key sectors; ongoing construction of flyover bridges, rehabilitation of schools and markets, renewed investment in agriculture, and decisive actions against cultism and kidnapping.”

    Governor Okpebholo also highlighted the central role of peace in sustaining the state’s progress and driving broader national development.

    “For Edo to continue rising, we must preserve the pillar that sustains all growth: peace,” he stated. “Without peace, there is no prosperity, no meaningful development, and no secure future. As we pray for peace in Edo State and Nigeria, we also declare prosperity and progress over our land.”

    The anniversary event, themed “Total Peace in Edo and Nigeria,” featured a message by Pastor Emmanuel Oibiwiye, who underscored the spiritual and civic importance of peace in national development.

    Quoting scriptures including Job 34:29, 2 Thessalonians 3:16, and Isaiah 6:9, Pastor Oibiwiye described peace as a divine provision and a prerequisite for good governance, economic growth, and social cohesion.

    “God is the giver of peace,” he said. “And where peace reigns, development follows. We must continue to pray for the state and the nation. Through sustained prayer, we will see peace, prosperity, and the emergence of purposeful leadership.”

    The gathering brought together faith leaders, community stakeholders, and state officials in a collective reflection on Nigeria’s trajectory since independence in 1960. With a focus on stability, governance, and the need for unity, speakers reiterated the critical need for a peaceful national climate to enable enduring progress.

    As Nigeria enters its 66th year, the event served as both a moment of thanksgiving and a call to action, urging citizens, leaders, and institutions to embrace peace as the foundation for national renewal.
