Oyetola also attributed the day as a symbol of Nigerians’ collective resolve because differences and sentiments are set aside and people speak as one in achieving a collective vision even in the face of the stiffest opposition.
The Osun State governor, Adegboyega Oyetola, has described the declaration and recognition of June 12 as Democracy Day as a tribute to courage.
Oyetola congratulated President Muhammadu Buhari for actualising what he termed “long yearnings of the people,” adding that June 12 is a reminder that Nigerians have what it takes to defend their democracy. “June 12 is symbolic of our collective resolve to set aside our differences and sentiments and speak as one people to achieve our collective vision even in the face of the stiffest of oppositions. It is a reminder that we have all it takes to defend our democracy.
He paid glowing tributes to the State’s legislature and the judiciary for extending their hands of fellowship and cooperation to the executive without comprising their independence and integrity.cooperation contributed largely to the modest achievements the administration has so far recorded in the last 18 months in health, education, infrastructure, mining, agriculture and security among other sectors.
