Former Education Minister, Oby Ezekwesili, has prayed for God to grant Nigerians a second independence from internal oppressors.
Ezekwesili stated that these internal oppressors have chosen to exploit public offices for their own selfish interests instead of governing for the common good of Nigerians.
She made this remark in celebration of Nigeria’s 64th Independence anniversary.
Posting on X, Ezekwesili wrote: “Nothing and I mean nothing, can ever take away the deeper joy of love of country and people that one feels as the plane safely touches down at home after travels abroad.

“No matter how the conditions of our country, Nigeria, break our hearts, I often take solace in the scripture- “Hope Maketh Not Ashamed”. Hope is inexhaustible as I often encourage myself to say.
“As we arrived home on this 64th Independence Day, my hopeful heart prayed: “Lord support your people’s efforts for a Second Independence – this time from their domestic colonialists who instead of governing for our Common Good have serially chosen to subvert public office for selfish personal interest.
“May our Lord, The Good-Good Father strengthen our hearts, my fellow citizens, this Independence Day.”
