The Federal Government has declared Monday, June 14, as public holiday to celebrate this year’s Democracy Day.
Minister of Interior, Mr Rauf Aregbesola, who made the declaration on behalf of the Federal Government, in a statement signed by the Permanent Secretary, Dr Shuaib Belgore, urged all citizens to support the present administration in its efforts at ensuring a United and prosperous nation.
He said any form of agitation that threatens the unity of the country should be shunned for the good of all, saying the space known as Nigeria would be a haven of peace, unity and progress if all citizens love his or her neighbour and embrace the spirit of brotherliness.
“As we mark another Democracy Day in the history of our dear country, let us reflect on the efforts of our founding fathers and ensure that Nigeria remains one united and indivisible entity. No development can take place in an acrimonious environment.
“With the challenges we face in Nigeria today, I see an opportunity for us not to break up or break down but to break open; open up to ourselves in truth so that we may appreciate each other, understand each other, honour each other and live together in peace and prosperity,” Aregbesola said.
He assured Nigerians that with the concerted efforts being put in place by the President Muhammadu Buhari-led administration to secure the lives and property of Nigerians and stabilise the economy, the nation will continue to get better.
