The Inter Party Advisory Council (IPAC) felicitates Cross Riverians and Nigerians on the occasion of the nation’s 64th Independence anniversary. It is indeed, a milestone in the country’s democratic governance and calls for sober reflection and rededication as we strive to build a better society. The need for peace, unity, tolerance and patriotism cannot be overemphasized.
Cross Riverians are a resilient, resourceful and industrious people and have remained resolute and committed to fostering sustainable democracy in the country.
IPAC salutes the political sagacity and tenacity of purpose of the nation’s founding fathers and remains determined to ensuring political stability, successful elections, sustainable democracy and well-being of citizens of Nigeria in Cross River State especially in this time of our Local Government Elections in Cross River State that will hold on the 26th of October, 2024. to bring more growth and development to the grassroots of Cross River State.
Nation building is a collective responsibility. IPAC is committed to the the People’s First Mantra project of His Excellency Senator Prince Bassey Edet Otu, the Executive Governor of Cross River State and urges the populace to rededicate themselves to the task of building a prosperous Cross River State.
It is obvious that the national mood is sour due to economic hardship and insecurity in the country. Council urges governments at all levels to improve the people’s standards of living and make Nigeria safe again.
The 64th Independence anniversary provides yet another opportunity for the government to set the nation on the path of economic prosperity and political stability. All tiers of government should also be decisive in the fight against corruption to ensure that national resources are channeled to meet the needs of the people, thus create wealth and employment. This will curb crimes and insecurity in the country. Already IPAC is partnering with relevant security agencies to fight corruption in the polity and sanitise the electoral process essential for good governance.
Nigeria is the only country we can call our own, let us join hands to make it great again and fulfill the vision of our heroes past of a united, progressive, prosperous and just democratic nation.
IPAC wishes fellow compatriots a happy Independence celebration!
