A political think tank under the aegis of Campaign for Democracy and Development on Monday joined Nigerians in commemorating what
“June 12 serves as a reminder of our commitment to democratic values and principles that form the foundation of our nation. It symbolises the aspirations of the Nigerian people for a just, inclusive, and accountable society. It also serves as a reminder to recognise how far Nigeria has evolved as a nation in ensuring the sustenance of the government of the people, by the people, and for the people. The 2023 election cycle is proof of the maturing of Nigeria’s democracy.
As an organisation dedicated to promoting democracy and good governance, CDD fully recognizes the importance of citizen participation, transparency, and the protection of human rights in building a strong democratic nation. We are equally aware of the persistent challenges that require our attention and collective efforts.
“As the nation commemorates this day, we call upon all Nigerians, government institutions, civil society organisations, and the private sector to recommit themselves not only to the ideals of democracy, but also towards the strengthening of democratic institutions, promoting accountability, protecting human rights, and fostering an environment where every citizen’s voice is heard and valued.
“CDD remains dedicated to the core values of promoting democracy and good governance. In the march towards democratic consolidation, this centre will therefore continue to collaborate with stakeholders, raise awareness, and drive meaningful change towards Nigeria’s democratic stability and the betterment of our nation.”All rights reserved.
