Former Vice President Atiku Abubabar has lauded the sacrifices made by the winner of the June 12 presidential election, the late Chief Moshood Abiola, describing him as a symbol of the June 12 struggle.
“The celebration of Democracy Day is an affirmation of our collective struggles towards a system of participatory government and acceptance of primacy of the rule of law. Continue, he said, “Between 1999 to the present time, our democracy has thrown up all shades of characters at the leadership levels.“Many, if not all of them, have tried their best to deliver good governance to the country. But the results of their efforts, judging by what we have at hand today, clearly show that our best has not been good enough thus far.
“It is when we do that, that democracy can pass as a self-correcting mechanism and when it is denied, we are left with a pseudo-democracy which is counterproductive to the notion of participatory democracy.
