In a message to commemorate the day, Governor Ododo described June 12 as a defining moment in Nigeria’s journey toward democratic governance, calling it “a solemn reminder that democracy is not gifted, it is earned.”

“Today, we celebrate as one people, united in history, in hope, and in purpose,” the governor said as he paid glowing tribute to the heroes of the 1993 presidential election, widely regarded as the freest and fairest in the country’s history but annulled.

Ododo also acknowledged the sacrifices of pro-democracy champions, singling out President Bola Tinubu as one of the foremost figures whose relentless struggle helped birth the democratic freedom Nigerians now enjoy.

“The sacrifices made by pro-democracy heroes, including our father, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, must never be forgotten,” Ododo said.

Reaffirming Kogi State’s unwavering commitment to the democratic ideals of inclusion, justice, and accountability, Governor Ododo pledged to continue leading a people-centered administration that delivers concrete results in infrastructure, agriculture, healthcare, and security.

“We are not only beneficiaries of the democracy earned through the blood and sweat of our heroes; we are stewards of its promise,” he affirmed.

The governor emphasised that democracy thrives when it is participatory and accountable.

He assured that his administration remains focused on building strong institutions, promoting transparency, and empowering citizens, especially the youth, to take an active role in governance.

“To our youth, you are not the leaders of tomorrow; you are the true guardians of our democracy today. This democracy belongs to you,” he charged.

Governor Ododo also called on traditional rulers, religious leaders, the civil society actors, and public servants to lead by example, stating that democracy was best measured not by titles or rhetoric, but by tangible results that improve the lives of the people.

“Let us remember that democracy is strengthened not by titles, but by service; not by rhetoric, but by results,” he said.

He urged citizens to remain vigilant against forces that threaten national unity, stressing the importance of defending democratic values from “disruption, division, and all other tendencies that undermine national interest.”

In reaffirmation of alignment with national development goals, the Governor pledged full support for the policies and programmes under President Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda.

Governor Ododo further vowed to continue working to protect the rights and freedoms of all residents of Kogi State, ensuring they can live and work in safety and dignity.

“Let us rise together in the spirit of nationhood. Let us stand together in the pursuit of progress. Let us walk together on the path of peace, equity, and sustainable development,” the governor charged.
