The Senator Polycarp Nwite Foundation for Democratic Accountability has said Nigeria’s unity is the most important task for President Bola Tinubu.
The June 12, 1993 presidential election, which was won by late MKO Abiola, but annulled by the military regime of General Ibrahim Babangida was adjudged to be a very transparent election in the history of Nigeria.
According to the statement, democracy in its purest form only exists to serve the best interest of the people, in an equitable, just, transparent and unifying manner, that enables trust and engenders patriotism and pride in nationhood; and belief in democratic practice and leadership. “We are absolutely convinced and confident that Tinubu, being one of the courageous fighters for the enthronement of democracy in Nigeria, as the current man in the driving seat of Nigeria’s democratic leadership, is not only conversant with the democratic principles, norms and nuances, but also willing and courageous enough to lead Nigeria to the future that would abhor divisiveness, fight nepotism, ethnic and religious bigotry.
“The tough decisions Tinubu has made right from his first day are indicative of a President who will lead from the front and make tough calls for the overall good of the people,” the foundation added. Tinubu upon his swearing-in in Abuja, the Federal Capital Territory, on May 29, declared that fuel subsidy was gone. Since then, fuel marketers had increased pump price for the Premium Motor Spirit, a move the Federal Government noted was necessary to meet market realities.All rights reserved.
