26 YEARS OF UNBROKEN DEMOCRACY A GREAT MILESTONE FOR NIGERIA, SAYS OYEBANJI

Ekiti State Governor, Mr Biodun Oyebanji, has congratulated Nigerians on the celebration of the June 12 Democracy Day.

Governor Oyebanji noted that 26 years of unbroken democracy is a great milestone for Nigeria, especially considering the huge respect it confers on the country in the comity of nations.

Governor Oyebanji, a statement by his Special Adviser on Media, Mr Yinka Oyebode, the also hailed the pivotal role played by prominent democracy activists, including President Bola Tinubu in ing other compatriots to fight for the restoration of civil rule in the country.

The Governor noted that President Tinubu was a prominent voice for the revalidation of the result of the June 12, 1993 presidential election result won by Chief Moshood Abiola who has been widely acknowledged as the symbol of the democracy being enjoyed by Nigerians.

He said Providence has now placed President Tinubu on the saddle to make Nigeria great through his Renewed Hope agenda urging for the unflinching of all Nigerians for the country to be restored to the path of prosperity.

Governor Oyebanji also paid tributes to the late Chief Abiola and other martyrs of democracy noting that no efforts should be spared in ensuring that their deaths are not in vain.

The Ekiti helmsman described June 12 as a watershed in the political history of Nigeria and a turning point in the nation's political journey as a corporate entity.

"Twenty six years of unbroken democracy is a great milestone for Nigeria. This is phenomenal, it is a record and an indication that Nigerians appreciate democracy despite the odds.

"It is instructive and symbolic that one of the most prominent agitators for the democracy we presently enjoy, His Excellency, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, has , by Providence become the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. He played a pivotal role in the restoration of civil rule after decades of military dictatorship.

"Let us continue to Mr President for us to realize the Nigeria of our dreams. As we move on in our democratic journey, let us continue to be more patriotic in our daily activities. We must continue to defend this democracy because it was hard earned and purchased with the sweat and blood of our compatriots," Governor Oyebanji said.

Na democracy be this, father Lord abeg end Nigeria make we start again.

All these pseudo Democrats, who have made life unbearable than military we chased away.

Well said, Your Excellency! 🇳🇬👏 June 12 is indeed a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made for the democracy we now enjoy. Honouring the legacy of Chief MKO Abiola and others who paid the ultimate price is not just about reflection — it's a call to action. As citizens, we must protect and nurture this hard-earned freedom. Kudos to President Tinubu and all patriots who stood firm when it mattered most. Let’s all commit to building the Nigeria of our dreams through unity, resilience, and unwavering patriotism. Happy Democracy Day to all Nigerians! ✊🏽🕊️

Military rule is 100 times better than this rubbish

If this is democracy kindly give me the alternative.

Only those who haven't experienced military rule would say otherwise.

26 years of unbroken democracy, inspite of certain teething problems, is worth celebrating.

As it's often said, "the worst civilian government is better than the best military regime".


Military rule is an aberration!


Congratulations to Nigeria/Nigerians on this remarkable milestone!



@hotseat

Can you imagine!! Unbroken democracy? So in his eye Nigeria is practicing democracy😂😂😂
As old as he is? He doesn't know true democracy. He must be a comedian.
What have we achieved as a costodian of unbroken democracy?
Let me school him a little, Nigeria democracy is the government of the government by the government for the government.

What!

Democracy has been truncated over & over again especially since APC ever emerged.

When your votes are burnt, assigned to another. When your voters are threatened, stabbed or even killed! When portal is turned off!

What are u talking about again?

what are the sacrifices that were made?

which democracy are "we" enjoying?

who are the "we"?

how is tinubu a patriot?

in the spirit of democracy you say "we" are enjoying, how has tinubu successfully tackled corruption, nepotism, cronyism, hunger, unemployment, hardship, poverty, inflation, wasteful government spending, budget padding, insecurity, bad governance, failing public infrastructure, poor medial services and falling standard of education?

This one is not democracy but demonstration of craze, ITT ruling us .

26 years of unbroken corruption you mean.

26 years of unbroken, looting, corrupt civilian regime, that has completely destroyed values, integrity and morals of the Nigerian system.

Who are the set of people celebrating it. Just few selfish individuals.

If una no take time the 26yrs unbroken democracy go break n it will be like film in oir eyes..
This will shock everyone n na small boys for the military in there youthful ages will carry out this revolution. It will come, just watch.
All old corrupt leaders will be made to for what they have stole from this country.
The day of reckoning is coming!

This man is a clown. Of what use is a democracy that does not improve lives but instead contribute to societal decadence?

Many take it for granted.
It's taken work.

So you are adding two years where freedom of speech has been banned, we have a biased judiciary and a legislature that is a rubber stamp for the executive as part of 26 years of democracy.

This is not a democracy
