Declaration of June 12 is the beginning of unity in Nigeria, says PDP chieftain
A chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party in Cross River State, Engr Ben Akak, has described the declaration of June 12 as Democracy Day by President Muhammadu Buhari as the beginning of unity among the various groups in the country irrespective of ethnic, religious or political differences.
He also charged religious leaders to intensify their teachings and preaching on issues that will stop discrimination among the people. “The unfortunate annulment of that election by former President Babangida nearly led to civil unrest in the country if not for the grace of God.“Therefore, as a philanthropist and concerned Nigerian, I see the marking of June 12 as Democracy Day as the beginning of unity among the various groups in the country irrespective of ethnic, religion or political differences,” he said.
“The President should run all-inclusive administration. Government at all levels should work together with traditional rulers to control communal crisis in rural areas.
