The presidential candidate of Labour Party, Peter Obi has felicitated with Nigerians as the country marks Democracy Day today June 12, IGBERETV reports.

He wrote on his Twitter handle;

"June 12 is marked in our dear country as Democracy Day . It is a historic day that deserves to be celebrated. On that day in 1993, we the people of Nigeria stated our unreserved preference for true democracy. Though under military rule, we freely chose a transparent voting method. Our votes reflected our true choice as a people. Our choice on that day defied divisions of ethnicity, religion and region. It is these qualities that added up to make June 12 special in our search for true democracy.

"Our collective choice of late Chief M. K.O AbIola as a worthy leader for nation was saluted by Nigerians and governments and peoples across the world. Therefore, June 12 underpins our long collective journey to nationhood as a true democracy.

"However, the current state of our politics tells a different story . Our democracy is deeply troubled while our nation’s destiny remains uncertain and precarious. We remain a nation in search of solutions to too many basic problems.

"One of these is the search for a credible electoral system that would command the trust, confidence and belief of ALL Nigerians just like June 12 did. We should, therefore, use the commemoration of June 12 as an occasion to return to the true virtues of a truly democratic nation. We achieved that feat on June 12, 1993. In the spirit of June 12, therefore, we need to emplace an electoral system that commands the trust of the people. This is in recognition of the tenets and core values of democracy, which rests on respect for the wishes of the people as expressed in their ballots. Above all, government must respect and protect the institutions of the democratic state by respecting the social contract with the people by meeting their needs, obeying their wishes and fulfilling the responsibilities of responsible governance as contained in the constitution. A cardinal responsibility of government in this regard is respect for the rule off law.

"Regrettably, we are now in an era where these foundational pillars of democracy are undermined by prevalent impunity and pervasive violence and bloodletting. The trust deficit between the leaders and Nigerians continues to expand.

"The deficits of trust and efficiency in our last elections demonstrate this malady quite boldly. The challenge of June 12 and a dedicated Democracy Day is to inspire us to correct the errors of our recent elections.

"This is the surest way to restore the confidence of our people in the future of our nation and the promise of true democracy. I however urge us all not to lose faith in the inbuilt design of our democratic system to self-correct.

"Personally, I remain committed and convinced that a New Nigeria is POssible. Our aspiration for a nation of equity, justice, security and peace can hardly be utopia. We are a nation blessed richly with human and natural resources.

"What we lack, are selfless leaders who are committed to national interest, sustainable development and innovative thinking that offers every Nigerian irrespective of ethnicity, religion or social strata, the freedom of choice of abode, and protection lives, property and ordered liberties. These aspirations are real and achievable; and I hereby reiterate my promise to Nigerians that we will not relent in our fight to bring about a leadership that will accord them the priority they deserve.

"Let me, therefore, on behalf of Labour Party (LP) and the Obidient Movement across the globe wish all Nigerians a happy democracy day. -PO"

Pandora Obituary is a crook

A very big one..

that was when he cornered import lisence of products like Hienze Ketchup, Don Periogne, Amarula all to himself

You divisive figure, evil hypocritical liar, speak to your obidient and Ipob audience not Nigeria. You have not done anything for Nigeria.

Abiola won and the igbos (Arthur Nzeribe and co(I am told PO was part of them) did not vote for him and even went to court to stop the election and stop the declaration of the result.

Then 2 million man match to support a military dictatorship by another Igbo una like dirty work kwo (DIK aka OPL 242). Under Abacha saint PO got juicy position as chairman of NPA self.

They have through PO continued this tradition. Enemies of Nigerian progress.

Then the igbos stated that they prefer the military regime and now they also went to invite the military. They clearly have no respect for democracy but for tyranny.

They always claim to be championing the youths when na OPL them they look for same format always no originality just copy copy and our youths keep falling for it.

MKO didn't win south east in 1993. Tofa is their favourite.

MKO won Anambra - Peter Obi’s state.

It is most likely that Obi’s vote is part of the votes that helped MKO win the state.

Now, shey you see how everyone is celebrating June 12 election? Everyone agrees that it was free, fair and credible.

30 years later, look at the sham that brought Tinubu.

Those old enough say this year’s election is comparable only to 1983 elections. Not even 2007 was this horrible.

Chai.

He wish he would be the Nigeria president to address Nigeria on democracy day today .

Eluup lule piiiii

His excellency has spoken.

Abiola won Anambra.

Are Anambra people Jukuns?

He should address the Obidients only.

Difference between Abiola and Tinubu:
Abiola won the election with landslide victory balabluu lost the election shamelessly, he lost Ikeja, Lagos and Fct among others!

Mrfixiit:
Peter Obi is coming

Abi gone

Who ask him

seanfer:
[lObi calm down. Abiola won the election but it was one of your brothers Arthur Nzeribe that went to court and got an order to cancel the election.
It was one of your brothers Kalu that organized 2 million march in support of Abacha so that Abiola won’t get his mandate.
You yourself work in the administration of Abacha.
So tell us how you fought for democracy?

Bought Ibo men definitely not all Igbos. Just sad it had to be from the same region.

Campaign after election. Obi go and rest.
We Nigerians know our history.

God bless President Bola Ahmed Tinubu GCFR
God bless NIGERIA

May the souls of Pa Alfred Rewane, Chief MKO Abiola, Chief Adekunle Ajasin, Alhaja Kudirat Abiola and the rest continue to rest in peace.

There was a time nah only in Lagos we dey get holiday on this day

Fake lover of Democracy

Same Peter Obi that voted Tofa & went ahead to take appointment from Gen. Sanni Abacha?

ybalogs:
Bought Ibo men definitely not all Igbos. Just sad it had to be from the same region.

We all know how those from that region hates other southerners to excel politically. If they can’t have it, nobody will have it.

Mandate thief

muykem:
MKO didn't win south east in 1993. Tofa is their favourite.

He won Anambra got 40% in every south east state even when tofa vice was Igbo

Name one Igbo man that has gotten 25% across south west
