As the country celebrates the occasion of Democracy Day, PDP’s presidential candidate in the 2023 election has declared that the country’s democracy is still in bondage.
Atiku said this in a statement released on Sunday as Nigerians mark the 2023 Democracy Day on June 12.
“For our democracy to be fully fledged, it must constantly evolve away from the current practice where the governing elite determines the outcome of elections. “As I congratulate Nigerians on this day, in celebration of the return to civil rule, I also call our consciousness to the reality that democracy in Nigeria remains in bondage and it will need the energy of all of us to rescue it.”
