The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP presidential candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, says today’s Democracy Day is “one of the most epochal political events in our nation, just before the February 2023 general elections.”
Gatekeepers News reports that Atiku said this in a message to commemorate Democracy Day celebration.
Atiku said it is therefore “an auspicious period to rally round all compatriots; to think and work in concert for the unity, security, equity, inclusivity, socio-economic prosperity and equitable development of our dear country.”
He asked Nigerians to “seize this unique opportunity of Democracy Day to reinforce our firm commitment to the sacrifices made by the pioneers of our country’s independence, and salute the courage and selflessness of the pathfinders of our current freedom and liberty; by pursuing with vim and vigor the fundamentals of our Constitution, the pillars and principles of rule of law, of electoral transparency and equity and unity in diversity.
“Let’s not despair by folding our arms in hapless helplessness. The last thing that should die in a person is hope.
“Let’s continue to do our civic duty and responsibility to salvage our dear country together; saving her from falling off precariously from current socio-economic cliff into abysmal catastrophic end of a failed state, as predicted by some naysayers!”
