DEMOCRACY DAY MESSAGE TO THE GOOD PEOPLE OF JECHIRA AND BENUE STATE.
Today, as Nigeria marks Democracy Day, I join millions of our compatriots in celebrating the resilience of our democracy and honouring the sacrifices of those who fought for the democratic freedoms we enjoy today.
I congratulate His Excellency, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, for his steadfast commitment to strengthening democratic institutions and advancing the Renewed Hope Agenda for a greater Nigeria. His leadership continues to reinforce the ideals of constitutional governance, the rule of law, and people-centered development.
I also specially commend the Executive Governor of Benue State, Rev. Fr. Dr. Hyacinth Iormem Alia, for deepening democratic governance in our dear state. Governor Alia has demonstrated uncommon commitment to allowing democracy take its rightful course by promoting inclusiveness, fairness, accountability, and respect for the wishes of the people.
As one of the direct beneficiaries of this democratic process, I can confidently attest to Governor Alia’s dedication to internal democracy. Today, I stand as the APC Flag bearer for Jechira Federal Constituency in the 2027 General Elections because party members and the people were given the opportunity to freely choose their preferred candidates through a transparent and fair direct primary election process. Indeed, what can be more democratic than allowing the people to decide who represents them?
I sincerely appreciate the good people of Jechira Federal Constituency for the overwhelming support, trust, and cooperation they have continued to give the administration of Governor Hyacinth Iormem Alia. Your belief in his leadership has contributed immensely to the progress and stability we are witnessing across our state.
As we celebrate this year’s Democracy Day, let us remain committed to peace, unity, tolerance, and active participation in governance.
Together, we can continue to build a stronger Jechira, a prosperous
