In an anniversary message,  Alawiye-King called on Nigerians to consider the period of  celebrating the nation’s independence anniversary as a special moment of sober reflection  rather than a time to engage in unnecessary spending, the lawmaker noted that the moment  should also be used for stock taking as well as one during which concerted effort is made  at deepening democracy.
