“June 12”: 22 and Becoming, Happy Democracy Day – Oyo Central Senatorial Hopeful, Bimbo Kolade Greets Nigerians.
A leading Aspirant for Oyo Central Senatorial District, on the platform of the All Progressives Congress(APC), comes 2023, Hon. Bimbo Kolade has greeted Nigerians on the occasion of this year “June 12 Democracy Day Celebration”.
“22 and Becoming. The 2021 celebration of Democracy Day marks 22 years of uninterrupted civil administration in our dear country. This day provides us an opportunity to reflect on our journey as a nation, our achievements and struggles”, he said.
“It is a day to honour our founding fathers who toiled to establish our republic and every Nigerian who has worked tirelessly to sustain it.
“I congratulate all Nigerians on this occasion. It is noteworthy that unlike before 1999, we have sustained the semblance of a democratic system for 22 unbroken years.
“There is no doubt that Democracy is the best system in evolving a modern government and it remains the most acceptable globally. However, the celebration today should also help us to raise the question of whether democracy is working to serve the interest of Nigerians. After all, it is known widely that democracy is not just the absence of military rule or the routine conduct of elections after which some individuals are announced to have been elected. The real end product of democracy should be good governance.
“June 12 has come with revelation and thought of why the spirit of patriotism must rise above our personal choice in the cause of setting a pace for national goal, we must revive the essence of being a Nigerian and necessity demanded of us as habitants of this great country must always top our priority.
“We are becoming even with pitfalls. We are becoming even with a difficult economy. We are becoming even with the challenges of security, we are becoming even when the odds of every form are against us.
“For all who have continued to push for a better Nigeria and those who clean the wheel that makes Nigeria work, we are thankful because with every effort, we keep moving towards the utopia of our founding fathers and indeed, our democracy is work in progress for the common good.
“We must continue to appreciate the essence of living in peace and oneness, and why there is need for our collective effort in ensuring our common hope for the greatness of our country is never and never dashed!
“Fellow Nigerians, as we celebrate this year’s Democracy Day, let us remember that, notwithstanding our aspirations, humanity and indeed democracy is under the threat of insecurity and we must come out stronger.
“I am confident that by God’s grace we shall overcome this one and emerge stronger and more purposeful. Happy Democracy Day Nigeria”, Hon. Bimbo Kolade greeted.
