NDC presidential candidate, Peter Obi has said on Friday that June 12 should prompt Nigerians to assess election transparency, government accountability and the strength of democratic institutions.
Obi said this in a statement on Friday.
“Every year on June 12, the conversation inevitably turns to a critical assessment of the state of our nation,” Obi wrote, asking: “Are our elections today as transparent as they were in 1993? Is the social contract being honoured? Are the institutions of governance truly serving the people?”
Obi described June 12 as both “a monumental tragedy and the ultimate triumph of the collective will of the people,” and called the date the “emotional and structural bedrock of our modern democratic identity.”
He urged citizens to use the day to reflect and to push for renewed commitment to true democracy.
