Kaduna State Governor Uba Sani has advised activists in politics to defend democracy and keep politicians on their toes.
The governor said activists should lead by example and be accountable to the people on whose mandate they are in office.
He said the welfare and security of the people must be top priority, and avoid actions that would make the people lose faith in democracy should be avoided.
The governor gave this advice at the public presentation and launch of a book written by Hon. Abdul Oroh titled, ‘’Demonstration of Craze: Struggles And Transition To Democracy.’’
Governor Sani who was represented by his principal private secretary, Prof. Bello Ayuba, said activists had a collective responsibility to defend democracy.
“Anyone who experienced military rule will not toy with democracy. Despite its imperfections, constitutional democracy remains the best system of government,” he said.
He urged pro-democracy activists and civil rights activists to continue to constructively engage governments at both federal and state levels.
