He called for unity among leaders, citizens, and those safeguarding freedom, emphasizing that the collective efforts of these individuals contribute to building a great nation.

In conclusion, Obi includes prayers for healing and restoration, urging for national unity to overcome the staggering challenges of insecurity and loss of lives.
