Senator Bukola Saraki has commemorated the 2013 Democracy day celebration with a goodwill message to all Nigerians.<\/p>\n

The Senator representing Kwara Central in a statement on Wednesday, said \u201cI celebrate every Nigerian at home and in diaspora , human right activists, our service men and women, religious leaders, military men and even those that have been witch haunted for standing for the truth among others, who played important roles in attaining and maintaining our democratic system\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cToday, we celebrate the 14th year of uninterrupted democratic rule in Nigeria, marking the beginning of a leadership that is inclusive and represents the interest of every Nigerian.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn every corner of our country, this special day reminds us of the valor, vision and dream of passionate Nigerians from all parts of the country, who came together in unity of purpose to ensure a well-deserved democratic rule after a long and tough military rule.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn retrospect, the last 14years have been filled with many challenges, the nation has been faced with tough times- yet our history shows these are not insurmountable, we only need to draw the perseverance of those before us; like i said many months ago, our dark days as a nation are over and the bright days are here\u201d.<\/p>\n

Senator Saraki noted that remembering our heroes \u201cgo beyond a holiday in our homes but ensuring that the will of Nigerians of all social status, tribes, ages and religions to embrace the true spirit of a statesman, understand our differences, join hands in unity beyond words and shoulder the responsibility of re-building Nigeria knowing that no one can build this nation except we do come into reality soon\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs we guide our nation into our bright future and come together in the enduring spirit to begin that work anew; we must defend and sustain this hard won democracy, we must be courageous, determined and strive to put a democracy in place that other nations emulate\u201d he further encouraged.<\/p>\n

\u201cOn behalf of the Senate Committee on Environment and Ecology, the people of Kwara central, I wish Nigerians in the world over, Happy Democracy Day\u201d.<\/p>\n
