The Democratic Party (PDP) on Thursday urged the Nigerians and development partners to unite in promoting democratic principles in the country.
The party made a call in a statement issued by the secretary of its national publicity, Debo Oologunagba, in Abuja, to mark this year’s democratic day.
These principles, according to Oologunagba, including justice, the rule of law, the credible election process, and the right of citizens to participate freely in politics and government in Nigeria.
He urged the Nigerians to use the opportunity for June 12, Democracy Day, to strengthen their resistance to all forms of unusematic practices, especially every effort to make Nigeria a party of one party.
Oologunagba emphasized that Democracy Day realized the struggle by the Nigerians on all forms of “oppressive systems that were oppressed, without law driven by impunity, high-level fraud and anti-people tendencies.”
He said: “It also represents the pressure by Nigeria for a system that is responsible to the people, operating based on the rule of law and the principles of democratic freedom, justice, justice, equality, credible elections, national cohesion, transparency, and accountability in governments scated by the Head of MKO Abiola and died.
