In a statement issued by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Lanre Lasisi, he said he believed Nigeria had learnt a lot in the last 21 years of uninterrupted democracy.
He stated this in his democracy day message to Nigerians in a statement from his media office, saying June 12, 1993 delivered a pan-Nigerian mandate for the revival of hope, unity and attainment of the country’s great potential.
Besides, Speaker of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila congratulated Nigerians on this year’s Democracy Day, saying since 1999, Nigeria had come a long way in democratic practice, noting that the country’s democratic experience was developing by the day. Also, the Centre for Liberty urged the Federal Government to recommit to electoral reform to deepen the nation’s democracy. It appealed to President Muhammadu Buhari to use June 12 to recommit to enduring electoral reforms by tasking the National Assembly on timely passage of the new Electoral Act Amendment Bill 2019 currently before the Senate and sign it into law once it is transmitted to him.
