Ekiti State Governor, Dr Kayode Fayemi has urged Nigerians to be more determined in ensuring that democracy works in the country.
Dr. Fayemi said despite nigeria’s imperfection, democracy remains the best option for the country.
Governor Fayemi added that through determination and active participation of citizens in the democratic process, Nigerians can achieve a truly great country of their dream.
The Governor who stated this in his goodwill message commemorating the 2021 Democracy Day, urged Nigerians not to relent in their search for lasting peace as a necessary condition for progress and prosperity.
Governor Fayemi saluted the heroic deeds of patriots who worked assiduously to actualise democratic rule in the country, especially the symbol of the June 12 struggle, the late Chief M.K.O. Abiola.
Governor Fayemi said a lot more sacrifice was required from the citizens to ensure the country gets the best out of its democratic rule.
He urged the youth especially, to show more interest in the economic and political development of the country.
“We may not have reached the promised land, but we have left Egypt. We may not have attained the best, but we surely have made some progress as a nation.
“While we remember today the contributions and sacrifices of our patriots (dead and living), the only befitting compensation for their efforts would be a truly great, peaceful and prosperous Nigeria. This is achievable.” He added.
