He noted that democracy has come to stay in the country, and called on Nigerians to get involved and remain steadfast as major stakeholders in the process of governance.
"As we march on in our democratic journey, we should always remember the tenets and rules of the game, respect the rights of others and faithfully discharge our civic responsibilities as important stakeholders in a nation-building project. In our efforts to build a better nation, let’s be confident in our ability to turn things around for the good of all of us. Our goal should be to build our nation with the bricks of equity, fairness and justice so that it can withstand challenges as they may come," he said.
