Obaseki: Democracy Day Will Inspire Me To Do More

Governor Godwin Obaseki of Edo State has said that the occasion of Democracy Day on Wednesday, June 12 is an energizer for the government to continue to extend the dividends of democracy to the citizenry.

In a special message to the citizens of the state personally signed by the governor, he said:

“Our uninterrupted democracy since 1999, is proof of its overwhelming popularity and acceptance, as it has allowed the active participation of everyone in the society in choosing their leader.

“In Edo State, government at all levels will continue to extend the democratic dividend to the greatest majority of our people.

“I want to use this opportunity to again commend our President, Muhammadu Buhari for officially recognising June 12 as the nation’s Democracy Day in honour of the Late M.K.O. Abiola, who paid a steep price for this participatory government.

“I call on all Edo people, Nigerians and friends of our dear country to support our effort to deepen democratic values towards ensuring that our people are major stakeholders in the process of governance.”
