Democracy Day: Uzodimma Urges Nigerians To Support Tinubu’s Reforms
Imo State Governor Hope Uzodimma has appealed to Nigerians to sustain their faith in democracy and support President Bola Tinubu’s reforms.
Mr Uzodimma made the appeal in a statement in Owerri on Friday, by his Special Adviser on Media, Oguwike Nwachuku, to commemorate this year’s Democracy Day.
He described democracy as a “unifying force that has driven the country’s historic milestones.”

“Democracy has presented us with choices that are unifying and collective, giving rise to the achievements we have recorded thus far,” he stated.
The governor explained that citizens had continued to strengthen the foundation for nation-building through active participation, constant dialogue, and a shared commitment to progress.
Acknowledging existing development gaps, he stated that Nigeria had achieved greatness by sustaining a governance system entirely driven by the people.
“Our democratic journey has consistently demonstrated our resilience, determination, and capacity for growth,” said Mr Uzodimma.
Mr Uzodimma, who is also chairman of the Progressive Governors’ Forum, praised Mr Tinubu’s reforms, describing the president as a “steadfast democrat and a true hero of the nation’s hard-earned freedom.”
He explained that the current administration had introduced transformative sector reforms, designed to position Nigeria for growth and equal opportunities.

He, therefore, appealed to the citizenry to support progressive ideals that promote national unity, stability, and long-term economic development.
The country returned to civilian rule on May 29, 1999, ending decades of political disruptions caused by successive military coups.
The Federal Government later moved Democracy Day to June 12 to honour the late Chief MKO Abiola, the winner of the annulled June 12, 1993 presidential election.
