Actor Yul Edochie has expressed his displeasure as Nigeria celebrates its 60th Independence Day anniversary today, October 1, 2020.

The actor turned politician said that he cannot wish anyone a happy independence day.

According to him, Nigerians are suffering and facing lots of challenges.

He tweeted:

“I cannot wish anyone a happy independence when my people are not happy. What are we celebrating? Fuel price increase? Electricity tariff hike? Hardship? Bad roads? Killings everywhere? Jobless youths turned beggars? The list is endless. Speak the truth. Nigerians are suffering.”

Meanwhile, the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd ), has addressed the nation with a speech which calls for a reflection on the journey so far.

“Today, it is my unique privilege to re-commit myself to the service of this great country of great people with profound diversities and opportunities. We are bound by destiny to be the largest and greatest black nation on earth.

“At this stage in our nationhood it is important that we reflect how we got here to enable us work TOGETHER to get to where we aspire to be as a strong indivisible nation, united in hope and equal in opportunity,” the speech part read.
