Ogun Govt Says There’ll Be No Independence Day Celebration This Year, Gives Reasons

Ogun state government has disclosed that no programme will be held in the state to celebrate the nation’s 63rd Independence Day on Sunday, October 1st.

Team@orientactualmags.com learned that  Secretary to the State Government, Mr Tokunbo Talabi, who disclosed this in a statement issued in Abeokuta on Tuesday, noted  that this was sequel to the decision of the federal government to have a low-key celebration this year which was done to reflect the mood of the nation.

The state government has urged citizens to solemnly pray for the country on Sunday.

‘Following the directive of the Federal Government that this year’s Independence Day Celebration should be low-key, the Ogun state Government has cancelled all arrangements in respect of the anniversary on October 1st, 2023.

The decision taken by the federal government was to reflect the mood of the nation. The state government enjoins citizens of the state to spend the time solemnly praying for the country.

It is the strong belief of the government under Governor Dapo Abiodun’s leadership  that the supplications of the people at this crucial time will be answered by God.

We seek the understanding and cooperation of all and sundry as we observe a low-key independence anniversary this year, believing that better times lie ahead of us as a people’ he said-Team@orientactualmags.com
