Democracy Day: Remember Our Past Heroes’ Sacrifices – Saraki Charges Nigerians

Former Senate President, Bukola Saraki on Sunday charged Nigerians to remember the immeasurable sacrifice of our heroes and their courage.

The former Governor of Kwara State made this call in his Democracy Day speech.

Saraki called on Nigerians to obtain their PVC to exercise their civic responsibility in the 2023 general elections.

The statement released by Saraki’s media house in Abuja reads, “As families across Nigeria settle in to commemorate the significance of #DemocracyDay, we all must remember the immeasurable sacrifice of our heroes — as well as celebrate the courage, and persistence of all Nigerians.

“This is because, throughout this oft-imperfect journey to institutionalize stronger democratic values in all aspects of our lives, there have been hiccups, yet, Nigerians have always demonstrated an unwavering commitment to forge a better, stronger, safer, and more prosperous nation.

“In this regard, as we observe today, remembering that the 2023 General Elections are just around the corner, I ask all Nigerians of voting age to ensure that they have their PVCs to exercise their civic responsibility by participating in the election of our leaders at the state and federal levels.

“It is my deepest prayer, that as we work to fix Nigeria by the election of intentional and decisive leaders next year, our nation and all its people will experience the much-needed prosperity and peace that all Nigerians have been clamouring for. Happy #DemocracyDay!”
