Since the inception of the Nigerian State as an independent entity from the 1960s,her democracy has in one time or the other experienced interruption from the quarters of khaki boys which almost has made it impossible for any concrete development to be put in place. It is in this light that the PDP-led government should first and foremost be commended for ensuring that democracy is deeply entrenched in our political system as it is widely believed that the worst form of democracy is better than the best form of military administration.
It is therefore instructive to note that since the inception of democracy of the fourth republic, the PDP-led government has been able to stabilize the country and provide physical, social and regulatory infrastructures capable of improving the living standard of Nigerians. Today, the Telecom,Road, Rail sectors are good examples as well as the power sector which has assumed the same dimension of transformation through its total privatization.
Most Nigerians are pleased to remember with nostalgia that in spite of the current global unemployment challenges, how the federal government has and is working assiduously to provide the enabling environment for the private sector to create more jobs in order to complement the efforts of the government(in the area of job creation) as demonstrated through You-Win, Sure P, Presidential social Scholarship Scheme for innovation and development programmes among others.
Furthermore, another aspect of commendation for this performing bride(PDP-led government) is the capacity of this administration to constitute and institute the national conference as Nigerians have the right to discuss their collective destiny and future. this singular bold and courageous gesture under the watch of President Goodluck Jonathan showcases the foresightedness and thoughtfulness of a visionary government.
Also, in the aspect of security, this administration has done awesomely well. GEJ has over the years been a lover of peace and amity, and has demonstrated his preference for methodical and urbane conduct in office and of course gave room for several peace initiatives and amicable resolution of disputes. But his cool was abused by these one time brothers of ours now turned blood sucking demons putting the toga of Boko Haram. Today, the tide has changed as the military is inching on the deranged Shekau who has exhibited cowardice time without number. Consequent upon the progress made so far in fighting boko haram, it is instructive to note that the PDP-led Government has been applauded and commended by the international community, and it is in this wise that I strongly charge my fellow country men and women irrespective of political, tribal, and or religious differences to support Mr President in the fight against this monster called Boko Haram.
In wrapping up this piece, it is my humble prerogative to commend President Goodluck's administration for deepening and solidifying the foundation for credible election, free and fair polls as the regime remains resolute in its principle of non-interference to ensure that the votes of the electorate count and that only those rightly chosen by their people are returned. No doubt therefore that this is the foundation of democracy which everyone and indeed other parties should embrace.
