DEMOCRACY DAY : UK BASED DEMOCRATIC GROUP HARPS ON BETTER DELIVERY OF GOOD GOVERNANCE, AND THE NEED FOR POSITIVE CHANGE.

A LONDON BASED NIGERIAN DEMOCRATIC GROUP [NIGERIANS VOICE FOR DEMOCRACY] has admonished leaders and followers alike, to be more committed and patriotic to the Nigerian Project. This was conveyed in her democracy day message personally signed by the convener of the group. In her opinion, Mrs Omolara Ayoade-Babatunde, the convener of the group believes that the Nigerian nation has been polarized and divided along ethnic and religious lines. She opined that there is quick need for positive change.


In her words, she said "As we celebrate nineteenth year of democracy in our country, Democratic Governance has been polarized along divisive ethnic and religious lines. It is indeed worrisome that active politicians are not adhering to the ethics of politics. Our political parties since May 29th 1999 have no distinct ideologies with internal squabbles and cross carpeting that is not healthy to our Democracy.

She also said “It is high time we looked once more on the need to build a unique Democratic structure in the country at this critical period of electioneering year. Our journey to Nationhood and Democracy from 1960 to date has been characterized by upheavals and turbulences, yet we must cherish our commitment to remain a united country, in brotherhood and respect for one another.

Furthermore, Mrs Omolara opined that our ethnic diversity should be a strength and not a weakness. Nigeria can make positive impact, if all hands are put on desk. "We must also appreciate the strength and value of our diversity, with due understanding and recognition of the interests of various ethnic nationalities in our hearts"

Finally, she enjoined all and sundry not to forget the contributions of our Heroes past. The people who have laid down their lives and made sacrifices for the development of Nigeria. She said, “In our efforts to promote and protect democratic institutions, we should not forget the roles and sacrifices of our gallant armed forces in the checkered history of nation-building"

NIGERIA SHALL RISE AGAIN.
