President of the Senate, Ahmad Lawan, says Nigeria’s ability to govern itself 21 years after June 12, 1993 election shows that democratic rule has come to stay in the country.
In the message, Lawan urged Nigerians to be confident in democratic governance in the country.
“The heroic demonstration of patriotism by the Nigerian voters on June 12, 1993, will continue to inspire generations of their compatriots to promote national unity and defend democracy in Nigeria.“Having come this far in our journey as a nation, we have no reason to doubt our ability to govern ourselves and attain our great potential as a nation.
Lawan assured Nigerians that lawmakers in the country would continue to provide the platform for improving democratic practice across board. “We should, therefore, continue to have faith in the capacity of our system to deliver the dividends of democracy to our people.
