DEMOCRACY DAY 2025: MESSAGE OF GREETINGS AND COMMENDATION
Happy Democracy Day to all Nigerians!
On this momentous occasion of National Democracy Day, Hon. Dr Fasua Gbenga Donald, the distinguished chairman of Akure-South Local Government and the current Chairman of the Association of Local Governments of Nigeria (ALGON), extends his heartfelt greetings to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
This day not only marks a celebration of our enduring democratic governance but also serves as a profound reminder of the tremendous sacrifices made by dedicated patriots throughout our nation’s history—those courageous individuals who laid down their lives in the quest for the freedoms and democratic ideals we, as a nation, now cherish and uphold.
Dr Fasua expresses sincere commendation for President Tinubu’s unwavering dedication to the defence and advancement of Nigeria’s democracy. The President’s steadfast commitment to the principles of democratic values has been pivotal in promoting good governance and fostering a harmonious sense of national unity among Nigeria’s diverse ethnic and cultural groups. His tireless efforts to engage openly with citizens, advocate for transparency, and uphold the rule of law shine as a beacon of hope and resilience. These efforts are indispensable for the sustainable growth and reinforcement of our democratic institutions, nurturing a vibrant participatory culture among the populace.
Furthermore, on this significant occasion, Hon. Dr. Fasua seizes the opportunity to extend his warmest congratulations to Governor Lucky Orimisan Ayedatiwa of Ondo State. In an impressively brief period of just 100 days in office, Governor Ayedatiwa has demonstrated an exceptional level of commitment and innovative thinking in his governance approach.
Through the implementation of a series of forward-thinking policies and initiatives, he has showcased his unwavering dedication to enhancing the welfare of the people of Ondo State. His leadership philosophy centres around principles of transparency, inclusiveness, and transformative development, fostering a renewed sense of optimism and confidence among the citizenry.
Under the dynamic leadership of Governor Ayedatiwa, Ondo State is poised for significant economic growth, social development, and an enhanced quality of life for all its residents. Dr. Fasua expresses steadfast confidence that the Governor’s administration will be characterized by pragmatic governance, innovative solutions, and positive change, establishing a compelling model for other leaders to emulate throughout Nigeria.
Collectively, the exemplary leadership demonstrated by President Tinubu and Governor Ayedatiwa reinforces the fundamental tenets of democratic leadership, accountability, and dedicated service to the people. These ideals are crucial for the continued progress of our nation, paving the way toward a brighter, more prosperous future for all Nigerians.
The Chairman encourages citizens to remain patient with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration, assuring them that it will steer our nation toward remarkable achievements. He reaffirms his steadfast commitment to the development of Akure-South, aligning with the Renewed Hope Agenda of Mr. President and the OUR EASE initiative of Governor Lucky Orimisan Ayedatiwa.
Together, let us reaffirm our commitment to fostering a free, fair, and inclusive Nigeria, ensuring that all voices are heard in the ongoing narrative of our democracy.
Happy Democracy Day to all Nigerians!
