~ Alleviate the sufferings of Nigerians
Ondo State PDP Youth Directorate in commemoration of this year's Democracy day celebration urges political actors and stakeholders to strive to advance the cause of democracy as it is the only means to preserve the legacy of heroes of democracy.
In a statement signed by the Head of the Youth Directorate, Comrade Victor Oguntoyinbo, the youth body emphasised the importance of the celebration in introspecting on the sacrifice eminent Nigerians whose sweat and blood the system of government we enjoy today was negotiated and to evaluate how far we have improved on the shared liberty of choice bequeathed to us.
The statement reads; "As we commemorate with Nigerians on the Occasion of this year's Democracy Day celebration, we find this auspicious occasion as a perfect time to introspect on the sacrifices made by eminent Nigerians whose sweat and blood the system of government we enjoy today was negotiated and to evaluate how far we have come on the shared liberty of choice bequeathed to us".
"We find it important for every Nigerian who are beneficiaries of the struggles of the heroes of democracy to evaluate the gains of democracy as envisioned by the founding fathers and conclude whether we are acting the tenets accurately as envisioned or not".
"The gains of any system of government is the improved standard of living of the citizenry, security of lives and properties, infracstrual development and sustained economic growth and development, available statistics have shown that after 25 years of uninterrupted democratic rule, Nigeria as a sovereign entity has been lagging in the mentioned metrics".
"We cease this golden opportunity to call on government at all levels to justify the ferocious demand for democracy by acting in the best interest of the electorate who entrust them with the mandate they have".
The Directorate also admonish political actors, electorates and INEC to uphold the tenet of Democracy by allowing for a free, fair, and credible process.
