As the nation marks is 2022 Democracy Day on June 12, the Chairman of the Kaduna State House of Assembly, Rt. Honourable Yusuf Ibrahim Zailani has saluted citizens of the country.
He expressed this in a statement signed by his SA Media and Publicity, Honourable Ibrahim Dahiru Danfulani, made available to newsmen in Kaduna on Monday June 13, 2022.
“Our nation is once again, celebrating this year’s edition of Democracy Day, set aside to rejoice the governance through participation of all citizens who contributed in electing leaders through the ballot.
“We are a lucky people that in spite of several daunting challenges facing our dear nation, we have been resilient and our democracy has been preserved,” he said.
Zailani said that he was optimistic that the more years the democratic rule continues, it is more deeply rooted and more citizens benefit from its dividends.
“2023 is around the corner, we all have roles to play in ensuring only credible leaders that would further entrench democracy are voted on the ballot.
“NIgeria will be better off if all of us as electorate reject leaders who we strongly feel are only on a selfish mission and vote in those that have track records of selfless service.
“On this note, I wish us all a Happy Democracy Day and hopes for a brighter 2023,” he said.
