FIC Report (Kwara State) – In commemoration of Independent Day, June 12, the Kwara State Governor and the Chairman, Nigeria Governors’ Forum (NGF), Mallam AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq has congratulated His Excellency, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR; the leadership of the National Assembly; the bench and the bar, the media, and the esteemed citizens in the civic space whose contributions to democratic engagements are an important component of our journey.
According to the Governor, “I join Nigerians to reflect on our Democratic journey as a nation-state. This day is a tribute to the men and women who lent their voices to the struggle for democracy when it was impolitic to do so. It is a remembrance of the ultimate sacrifice of those who lost their lives”.
“The feature that stands out a democracy — whether established or evolving — is that it allows for robust engagements among different stakeholders to forge the way forward at all times. To the credit of all, as attested to by the divergent views of citizens on various topics, our democracy stands shoulder high in this regard”.
He said further that notwithstanding the developmental challenges, the view behind search for a better society are measurable and scalable achievements so far in critical infrastructure, indices of soft power, and other areas of human advancement.
He charged the citizens not to lose sight of these gains or do anything to undermine them in any way, even as we work together as a people to build a stronger nation.
