TEXT OF PRESIDENT BOLA TINUBU’S NATIONAL BROADCAST ON THE 25TH ANNIVERSARY OF UNBROKEN DEMOCRACY IN NIGERIA,


DEMOCRACY DAY, 12TH JUNE, 2024
ABUJA

My fellow Nigerians, let me begin by congratulating all of us for witnessing the celebration of another Democracy Day today, the twelfth day of June 2024. This year also marks our nation’s 25 years of uninterrupted democratic governance.

On this day, 31 years ago, we entered our rites of passage to becoming a true and enduring democratic society.

Going through this passage was hard and dangerous. During the fateful six years that followed, we fought and struggled for our natural rights as human beings put on this earth by the divine hand of our Creator.

We lost great heroes and heroines along the way. In this struggle, the winner of the June 12, 1993 presidential election, Chief MKO Abiola, the most significant symbol of our democratic struggle, his wife, Kudirat, General Shehu Musa Yar’Adua, and Pa Alfred Rewane amongst other sacrificed their very lives.

They bravely surrendered their futures, so that our nation might have a better one.

Let us honour the memories of Chief Anthony Enahoro, Chief Abraham Adesanya, Commodore Dan Suleiman, Chief Arthur Nwankwo, Chief Chukwuemeka Ezeife, Admiral Ndubuisi Kanu, Chief Frank Kokori, Chief Bola Ige, Chief Adekunle Ajasin, Chief Ganiyu Dawodu, Chief Ayo Fasanmi, Chief Gani Fawehinmi, Chief Olabiyi Durojaiye, Dr. Beko Ransome-Kuti, Chima Ubani, and others who have transited to the higher realm.

The sacrifices of General Alani Akinrinade, Professor Bolaji Akinyemi, Professor Wole Soyinka, Chief Ralph Obioha, Chief Cornelius Adebayo, among many others, should never be forgotten. For at least six years, they bore the pains and difficulties of life in exile.

While the exiled pro-democracy activists kept the fire burning, their comrades at home sustained the pressure on the military leadership. Among the latter are Olisa Agbakoba, Femi Falana, Abdul Oroh, Senator Shehu Sani, Governor Uba Sani, Chief Olu Falae, and other National Democratic Coalition leaders such as Chief Ayo Adebanjo and Chief Ayo Opadokun.

The sacrifices they made, and the precious gift brought about by their selfless devotion can neither be repaid nor forgotten.

We could not have won the battle against dictatorship without the irrepressible Nigerian journalists who mounted the barricades along with the pro-democracy activists. We celebrate them today, along with their media establishments such as The Punch, Guardian, National Concord, Tribune, The News/Tempo, and TELL Magazines. The undemocratic government of the day proscribed these media establishments and jailed their journalists for standing for free speech and civil liberties and the sanctity of the June 12 elections.

Despite the lethal might of the authoritarian government, what appeared to be high and unyielding walls of dictatorship came tumbling down. The dismal fortress exists no longer.

The power of an idea, the power of the people proved more potent than all the guns, the munitions, and the threats of the strongmen.

The nation exited the yoke of dictatorship in 1999 to become the most populous democracy on African soil, the beacon of democratic self-determination for the black race and one of the largest democracies in the world.

This change stands as a pivotal moment in human history. From this change, we shall never turn, nor shall the annals of mankind’s progress forget the sublime meaning of this great moment.

Today, 25 years later. we celebrate the silver anniversary of our journey in democracy.

We have steadied the course. Democracy is neither a foreign nor abstract concept devoid of real-life meaning for us. Neither can we afford to reduce or minimalize it to being nothing but the mere holding of periodic elections where one candidate and party outdo another.

While elections attract dramatic attention, they are but one aspect of democracy. Democracy is a way of life that encompasses a broad outlook of which elections are but a part. As such, a nation can have elections without being democratic. But a nation cannot be truly democratic without holding elections.

That we have established a tradition of holding transparent, open, and fair elections gives credence to our democratic standing. That we have experienced peaceful transitions of government affirms our democratic temperament.

Fellow Nigerians, true democracy shines its light into the daily lives of the people who live under its nurturing wings. It affords us the freedom and liberty to think as we want, live where we want and pursue whatever legitimate endeavour that suits us.

Democracy does not assume some false or forced unity of opinion. In fact, democracy assumes that conflicting ideas and differing opinions shall be the order of the day. Given the diversity and variety of the human experience, there must be diverse perspectives and viewpoints.

What democracy demands is that we do not resolve differences through force and repression. But we make allowance for the legitimacy of views that differ from our own.

The other forms of government impose against the will of the people, democracy aims to make leaders who conduct themselves as servants of the common good, not as viceroys of the narrow interests of the mighty.

My dear compatriots, Nigeria faced a decision of untold gravity twenty-five years ago: Whether to veer toward a better destination or continue aimlessly in the fog of dictatorship.

We made the right choice then. We must continue with that choice now.

As Nigerians, we must remind ourselves that no matter how complicated democracy may be, it is the best form of governance in the long run. We must also be aware that there are those among us who will try to exploit current challenges to undermine, if not destroy, this democracy for which so much has already been given.

This is the great battle of our day and the major reason we specially celebrate this day as Democracy Day.

The true meaning of this day is not to focus solely on the great deeds of the past that have brought us to this point.

Yes, we pay eternal honour to those who laid down their lives, sacrificing everything to pave the way for the nation.

I stand uniquely placed in this regard. I was among those who took the risk to midwife the birth of our democracy. I am now a direct and obvious beneficiary of the fruits of those historic efforts.

As president of this nation, I am morally and constitutionally bound to preserve this precious form of governance. I vow to do my utmost best to protect your rights, freedoms, and liberties as citizens of Nigeria.

Even more than that, I pledge to do what is necessary to cement democracy as our way of life.

Although the challenges are steep and multiple, I am grateful to lead Nigeria at this moment in her history and point in her democratic journey.

I come before you also to declare that our most important work remains before us. This real test has never been whether we would rise to challenge the slings of misfortune and grievous pain of dictatorship.

The real test is whether we shall lower our guards and fail to defend democracy as the shadow of despotism and its evident physical danger fade.

I say to you here and now that as we celebrate the enshrinement of our political democracy, let us commit ourselves to the fulfilment of its equally important counterpart, the realization of our economic democracy.

I understand the economic difficulties we face as a nation.

Our economy has been in desperate need of reform for decades. It has been unbalanced because it was built on the flawed foundations and over-reliance on revenues from exploitation of oil.

The reforms we have initiated are intended to create a stronger, better foundation for future growth. There is no doubt the reforms have occasioned hardship. I feel your pains. Yet, they are necessary repairs required to fix the economy over the long run so that everyone has access to economic opportunity, fair pay and compensation for his endeavour and labour.

As we continue to reform the economy, I shall always listen to the people and will never turn my back on you.

In this spirit, we have negotiated in good faith and with open arms with organized labour on a new national minimum wage. We shall soon send an Executive Bill to the National Assembly to enshrine what has been agreed upon as part of our law for the next five years or less.

In the face of labour’s call for a national strike, we did not seek to oppress or crack down on the workers as a dictatorial government of the past would have done. We chose the path of cooperation over conflict.

Nobody was arrested or threatened. Instead, the labour leadership was invited to break bread and negotiate toward a good-faith resolution.

Reasoned discussion and principled compromise are hallmarks of democracy. These themselves shall continue to animate my policies and interaction with the constituent parts of our political economy.

I take on this vital task without fear or favour and I commit myself to this work until we have built a Nigeria where no man is oppressed.

In the end, our national greatness will not be achieved by travelling the easy road. It can only be achieved by taking the right one.

The words of the American President Franklin Roosevelt certainly ring true:

“There are many ways of going forward. But only one way of standing still”!

We dare not slumber lest the good things awaiting our immediate future pass us by. We dare not plant our feet in idle standstill in the middle of the intersection of hope and despair.

We know the proper way forward and we shall take it!

The initial rays of a brighter tomorrow now appear on the horizon. An abundant future and our capacity to achieve that future lies within our reach. Democracy and the institutions it begets offer to take us to our profound destination.

Let us board this progressive train together. Together, let us move Nigeria forward.

Let’s continue to keep the fire of democracy burning. Let’s keep the torch lit for generations to come.

May God continue to bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria and preserve our democracy.

I wish us all Happy Democracy Day

Since then uptil now i have not seen my period. Initially I worried i may be pregnant but after several urine and blood test it all turns out negetive. what could be wrong here? This is the first time i am experiencing this.

I have done 4 test myself using pt test strips. but all came negative. Yesterday I went to a private lab an de used my blood and urine sample for pregnancy test, it still came out negative.

Abeg any medical expert or any one with past experience should assist with advice on next step please.

Have u gone for a scan? This happen to someone close to me only for her to do a scan and discover an abnormal foetus.

Tanyogo:


Yes

Yes

Its expected that youths will top the registration because a good number were lrdd than 18 as at last elections, so this is their first opportunity. Although the issue of increased awareness can not be neglected as well.

Let's bear in mind also that this ASUU strike has made students to register at home. If the Election comes when they are in school a lot will not travel back to vote as well.

But above all, we are Obidient.

Rabiu Kwankwaso, the presidential candidate of the New Nigeria Peoples Party, NNPP, has been urged to work with the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, LP, Peter Obi.


Deji Adeyanju, an Abuja-based activist lawyer said Kwankwaso should collapse his structure and work with Obi.

He said Kwankwaso should team up with Obi because the former Anambra State Governor has a national appeal.

In a Facebook post, the rights activist noted that Kwankwaso only has local support, unlike the LP presidential candidate.

POLITICS2023 Presidency: Kwankwaso told to collapse structure, work with Peter ObiPublished on June 1, 2022By Seun Opejobi



Rabiu Kwankwaso, the presidential candidate of the New Nigeria Peoples Party, NNPP, has been urged to work with the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, LP, Peter Obi.


Deji Adeyanju, an Abuja-based activist lawyer said Kwankwaso should collapse his structure and work with Obi.

He said Kwankwaso should team up with Obi because the former Anambra State Governor has a national appeal.

In a Facebook post, the rights activist noted that Kwankwaso only has local support, unlike the LP presidential candidate.

Adeyanju claimed both Obi and Kwankwaso would make a good President and Vice President.

“Kwankwaso should collapse his structure to work with Peter Obi. Obi is popular all over the country. Kwankwaso’s influence is only in Kano. They will both make a good President and Vice,” Adeyanju wrote.

Obi recently resigned from the PDP before defecting to LP.

No relationship can succeed without both partners putting in an effort to make it work. Below are 14 rules that should guide your relationship.❤️[size=8pt][/size][b][/b]

1. Never push a loyal woman to the point where she no longer cares.�

2. There is a difference between somebody who wants you and somebody who would do anything to keep you. Remember that.✍️

3. Communication and trust is important if you want to secure your spot in someone’s heart.❤️

4. Never fall in love with someone who left his girl for you because he might do the same and leave you for someone else.�

5.A real man never gives up on the woman he loves with all his heart, no matter how much it hurts.�

6. Don’t play with someone’s feelings just because you’re unsure of your own.�

7. One of the worst mistakes you’ll make is walking away from the person that stood there and waited for you.�

8. Just because one man treated you badly doesn’t mean all men will. Get this into you skull.✍️

9. Be careful what you say. Human being remembers everything. They will never remember the good word you said to them but they will remember the bad ones you have ever spoken that is Human.�

10. When two people care about each other, they will always look for a way to make it work.�

11. Love someone who loves you too.❤️

12.A heartbreak is a blessing from God. It’s just his way of letting you realize he saved you from the wrong one. So you better stop crying now.�

13. Letting go isn’t a sign of weakness. It’s a sign that you’re strong enough to move on.�

14. It’s better to be alone for the right reasons than to be with someone for the wrong reasons.

I sincerely have found out that any person who always see reasons to give flimsy excuses is a great liar, be far from such person.�‍♂️

Have a nice day � Ladies � and Gentlemen

He was disqualified because he failed state in the form that he has been tried in the court before.

Penguin2:
Wow!

PDP disqualifying a candidate because he has been tried in court before?

I guess the court that EFCC took Stella Oduah to is Lawn Tennis Court and that’s why she was not disqualified even with her anti party activity during the Anambra guber election.

They also disqualified Ozigbo and cleared Tony Nwoye, another criminal.

From how I programmed myself with my job 3 months salary and my rent money

From my discussion with him I found out it takes him his six months salary to secure his rent.
For me it ain't funny ooo.

Pls guys how long does it take for you to acquire your landlords money?

My 3 months salary with out removing a kobo can pay my rent

Hello good day.

I want to apply for the ongoing recruitment at the Rivers State University as a graduate lecturer,(anyone who is also applying should indicate let's know ourselves and help each other).

The problem is, I saw confidential cover as one of the documents to submit and I don't know what it is.

I googled it out, yet still confused.
I want to know if you are to write it yourself or it's left for the referees to do it for you.

This is reference letter to be written by your referees.

FreeStuffsNG:

They will rise up again.I honestly don't believe any school will be happy to have any of its student dead especially in a tragic controversial manner. They obviously will learn a big lesson from this unfortunate incident and never make any lapses ever again.

Dowen has a strong human resource in its alumni, I am wondering why members of Dowen Alumni are quiet and so much scared to tell the world if this unfortunate incident completely erases the legacy of the education Dowen gave them. I remember A Hall had a similar experience but their Alumni stood by their school and was part of those who ensured A. Hall did not die with that unfortunate incident. Today it's the turn of your alma mater.

If you are a parent who Dowen helped raise your child to be the great person he or she is today or you are a product of Dowen ,it's time to stand with your alma mater and assure the public that you are with the bereaved family too.Get involved in the resolution of the issue. This is a tough time for your alma mater and if Dowen didn't kill you throughout your stay there, why then will Dowen now want to kill that beautiful soul?

It's unfortunate. I pray that God console the bereaved family. It's really tough but putting all the blame on the school is not unexpected in unfortunate incidents like this.

Beautiful Rubbish

Sad One
