A statement made available to The Nigerian Xpress by media aide to Governor Dapo Abiodun, Mr. Lekan Sanni, quoted Mr. Tokunbo Talabi, Secretary to the State Government, as saying that “The decision by the Federal Government is 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 the leadership of Governor Dapo Abiodun 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.”
