Abuja, June 13, 2024 (NAN) A Chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Chief Uche Nwosu, says Nigeria is on the path to manifest her greatness in all spheres of development.
Nwosu, Chief of Staff to former Imo Governor, Sen. Rochas Okorocha, in a statement on Thursday in Abuja said Nigeria’s journey to greatness was demonstrated in the 25 years of sustained democratic rule.
He said this had ultimately returned political power to the people, redefined leadership, restored hope and set the country on the path of rapid growth and development.
Nwosu, while acknowledging some challenges facing the country, called for a united action by stakeholders in the Nigerian project, to realise the dreams of the founding fathers.
He congratulated President Bola Tinubu and the entire nation on the 25 years of unbroken democratic rule, expressing optimism of a brighter future for all and sundry.
He urged Nigerians to have confidence in the present administration to deliver the expected dividends of democracy.
Nwosu said that Nigeria’s 25 years of unbroken democratic rule was a testament to the resilience, dedication and unwavering commitment of the Nigerian people to the principles of democracy and freedom.
“I call on Nigerians to embrace unity, love and respect for one another and to deepen their engagement in participatory democracy.
“We should guard against antidemocratic tendencies and ensure that our democratic values and culture are firmly entrenched at all levels of society.
“As we celebrate this historic day, let us remember the sacrifices of those who fought valiantly for the democracy we are enjoying,” Nwosu said.
Nwosu, also the President Ugwumba Leadership Centre for Africa, said June 12 was not just a date but symbolised Nigerians’ collective struggle for justice, equity and the rule of law.
“It is also a symbol of Nigerians’ aspirations for unity, hope, better standard of living, and true democratic practices, which the country is working toward.
“It is a reminder of the power of the people’s voice and the strength of our democratic institutions,” he said.
He urged Nigerians to renew their commitment to building a Nigeria where democracy thrived, where the citizens enjoyed their fundamental rights and the future brighter for generations to come.
“All hands must be on deck in sustaining democracy to ensure the struggle of our founding fathers and heroes’ of democracy, including late Chief MKO Abiola, was not in vain,” he said. (NAN)
