The statement reads: “This year’s celebration is special, being the first to be held on June 12, in commemoration of the day Nigerians expressed their democratic choice, devoid of tribal and ethno-religious sentiments in 1993. “That election and the subsequent chain of events that followed it set the tone for the birth of the current democracy we have enjoyed uninterruptedly as a nation since 1999.
“Governor Ikpeazu salutes President Muhammadu Buhari, Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, President of the Senate Ahmad Lawan and Speaker of the House of Representatives Femi Gbajabiamila, and all Nigerians, on this auspicious occasion coming soon after the start of this current democratic dispensation.
“Nigerians have shown unprecedented commitment and faith in our democracy, and have demonstrated in the clearest of terms that a government of the people, by the people and for the people remains the best form of government.”
