The Peoples Democratic Party has declared that Nigeria’s democracy remains fragile and unfinished 33 years after the annulled June 12, 1993 presidential election.
The party described the nation’s democratic journey as one still burdened by unresolved governance and electoral challenges.
In a press statement issued on Friday to mark Democracy Day, the party reflected on the historic significance of the 1993 election, widely regarded as the freest and fairest in Nigeria’s history, and the national resistance that followed its annulment.
The statement, signed by Ini Ememobong, mnipr, National Publicity Secretary of the party’s Interim National Working Committee, reaffirmed the PDP’s position that democracy must be continuously defended, strengthened, and deepened beyond electoral cycles.
It recalled that Nigerians at the time demonstrated uncommon unity at the ballot box, transcending ethnic and regional divisions in pursuit of a shared national aspiration.
