Don’t take our democracy for granted, Tinubu admonishes Nigerians

Nigerians have been admonished not to take the nation’s democracy for granted but value and protect it as the most viable form of government.

President Bola Tinubu gave the admonition on Monday in his first June 12 Democracy Day National Broadcast. 

He said: “The point is that we must never take this democracy for granted. We must forever jealously guard and protect it like a precious jewel.”

Tinubu also urged Nigerians not to take the liberty they now enjoy for granted as it was obtained through great sacrifice.

“A people can never truly appreciate the freedoms and rights democracy guarantees them until they lose it,” he said, pledging his administration’s commitment to diligently fulfil every component of its electoral pact with the people – the ‘Renewed Hope’ agenda.

“We shall be faithful to the truth. Faithful to equity. And faithful to justice.

“We shall exercise our authority and mandate to govern with fairness, respect for the rule of law, and commitment to always uphold the dignity of all our people,” the President said.
