June 12: Kwara Gov., AbdulRazaq charges on recommitment to nation’s democracy

AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, the Kwara State Governor and Chairman of the Nigeria Governors’ Forum (NGF) has felicitated with Nigerians on the 30th anniversary of the June 12, 1993 presidential election, calling it a watershed event that birthed the current democratic dispensation.

AbdulRazaq, in a statement issued by his Chief Press Secretary, Rafiu Ajakaye to commemorate Democracy Day, said that the best way to honour the heroes of democracy and sustain the gains of the era is to recommit to the ideals of democracy while joining every effort in building a stronger country through patriotism and collective responsibility.

AbdulRazaq, while congratulating Nigerians on this occasion, also urged them to rally behind President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Renewed Hope agenda to strengthen democracy and consolidate on the gains of the past years in the area of collective security, infrastructural development, and public welfare.

He said, “It is my belief that our country is making appreciably steady progress in our democratic journey and the unending task of nation building. With all of us playing our complementary roles, I have no doubt that the future holds so much promises for Nigeria as the leader of the black community.”
