“On this momentous occasion of the 25th Democracy Day, we honor the sacrifices of our past heroes and heroines who valiantly fought for the ideals of democracy in Nigeria.

“They are indeed deserving of special honours, given that their courage and dedication laid the foundation for the enduring strength of our democratic governance.

“As we celebrate this milestone, let us reaffirm our commitment to the values that unite us as a nation. Unity, tolerance, and unwavering support for one another must transcend the barriers of ethnicity, religion, and political affiliation. Together, let us build a Nigeria where every citizen is valued and empowered to contribute to our collective progress.

“In this spirit, I extend heartfelt congratulations to our esteemed Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces and President of Nigeria, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu GCFR. Your leadership exemplifies the principles of democracy, and we are grateful for your tireless efforts in service to our nation.

“Similarly, I am delighted to commend the renewed efforts of the South East Governors under the pragmatic leadership of His Excellency Senator Hope Uzodimma, CON, Governor of Imo State, for taking up the onerous task of addressing prevailing security and economic challenges of the zone, while gradually implementing policies aimed at fostering regional integration, inclusivity and peaceful coexistence among the citizenry.

“Today’s Democracy Day celebration has afforded us yet another opportunity to reappraise our value system and reposition our democracy in such a way that our priorities would reflect our dreams and aspirations of building a nation that we all can be proud of. This is important because nation building does not end with the leadership alone. Nigerians should have faith in their country.

“Let us continue to uphold the principles of democracy and strive towards a future where justice, fairness, and gender equality prevail for all Nigerians, while ensuring that the interests, needs and priorities of both women and men are taken into consideration, thereby recognising the diversity of different groups of women and men as equal partakers of our shared humanity.

“I want to reemphasize the importance of supporting and praying for our leaders at all levels, especially Mr President, knowing that our collective prayers and hard work would certainly go a long way to rekindle our love for nationhood and pave way for sustainable growth.

“Happy Democracy Day to fellow Nigerians, and may God bless our nation abundantly, as we journey together towards a brighter future.”
