As Nigeria marks its 64th independence celebration, we extend our warmest regards to all Nigerians, particularly the resilient workers who have endured profound betrayals at the hands of various political leaders over time.

To those burdened by broken promises, exploitation, and corruption, we urge you to maintain faith in our nation.

Your enduring sacrifices, oft overlooked, merit lawful protests against injustices and the erosion of democratic principles by the prevailing political class.

It is evident that the present political establishment is reluctant to act uprightly unless pressured to do so by the populace.

Likewise, we caution our political leaders against further erosion of our democratic pillars. The repercussions of their actions have brought us to this juncture. Let this serve as a turning point. Let this be the genesis of a brighter era.”
