June 12: Gov Sani Urges Leaders To Uphold Democratic Tenets
Kaduna State Governor Uba Sani, has urged leaders and citizens to use the occasion of the Democracy Day celebration to renew their commitment to upholding democratic values and work together for a brighter, more equitable future for the country.
In his message to congratulate Nigerians and Kaduna State citizens in particular on the June 12 anniversary, Governor Sani called for unity to build a society that offers a better life for all.
He noted that the sacrifices of the nation’s heroes should continue to serve as an inspiration to protect freedom and deepen the nation’s democracy.
According to him, although the annulment of the June 12, 1993 presidential election was a dark chapter in the nation’s history, it serves as a powerful catalyst, galvanising citizens and activists alike in pursuit of a common goal—democracy.
He called on citizens to reflect on the progress made and acknowledge the challenges that still lie ahead.
According to Sani, ” Since the return to democratic rule in 1999, we have taken significant steps forward, even as we continue to confront new hurdles.
