Imo State Governor, Senator Hope Uzodimma, has challenged Nigerians to work harder to sustain democracy.
He said both Nigerians and the institutions must collaborate to defend democracy and make it a covenant that they must keep.
In his democracy message, Uzodimma, who is also the Chairman of Progressive Governors Forum, insisted that the legislature, judiciary, security agencies, the electoral body and Nigerians themselves must work hard to uphold democracy as the best form of government for the country.
“Democracy is not the work of government alone. Let each of us, in our own station, support and consolidate it,” he declared.
While acknowledging that democracy in Nigeria still faces some challenges, he was optimistic that given the 27 years of unbroken democracy Nigeria truly deserved this form of government they fought for.
