The Speaker of Ekiti State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Adeoye Aribasoye has urged the people of the state and other Nigerians to keep faith in democracy
Aribasoye in a message on the occasion of 2023 Democracy Day said June 12 had become Nigeria’s most important milestone of democracy and a platform that recognizes the people’s right to speak with their votes on the choice of their leaders.
He urged Nigerians to continue to defend their hard-earned democracy, which he noted was watered with the blood of Chief Abiola, his wife, Alhaja Kudirat Abiola and many of their compatriots who fought against the annulment of the election by the military. He said: “We must not forget the sacrifices of Nigerian patriots like late Chief Anthony Enahoro, late Chief Abraham Adesanya, late Chief Alfred Rewane, late Air Commodore Dan Suleiman, late Rear Admiral Ndubuisi Kanu, late Chief Gani Fawehinmi , late Dr Beko Ransome-Kuti, late Baba Omojola, Gen Alani Akinrinade, late Chief Olabiyi Durojaye, late Dr Amos Akingba, Chief Ayo Adebanjo, Colonel Abubakar Umar , Chief Frank Kokori, Mr Femi Falana , Mr Olisa Agbakoba , Oba Olu Falae, late Alhaji...
“They gave their all, including the payment of the supreme price, shed their blood and sweat and suffered many deprivations for the attainment of the democracy we are enjoying today. Without these sacrifices our democracy wouldn’t have been possible.
