We should learn from June 12, says Razak
All Progressive Congress chieftain Chief Lanre Razak has urged leaders to learn from the lessons history.
He praised the pro-democracy crusaders for their agitation against military rule and the restoration of civil rule. Razak said: “First I want to appeal to Nigerians to look at the composition of ethnic nationalities in this country before they make any objective assessment of the current state of the nation and the performance of the political class to manage it to the current level.
“A 21 –year-old person can surprise you with a good result and the political class has been doing what is expected of them in governance. Initially, it was rough and tough because the political class came together to ensure the military return to the barracks in 1999, or what can be described as let my people go and they have gone for good.
“This was very usual and this group of patriots ensured total victory for our party. Having achieved that, you and I know the sacrifices that our political leaders have made and we will not allow such sacrifices to be in vain and be destroyed. I want to assure you that democracy will continue to thrive in Nigeria and we will work assiduously against the agents of evil to ensure that we don’t destroy the democracy we have achieved.
