On the occasion of the 2026 Democracy Day celebration, I extend my warmest greetings and heartfelt congratulations to all Nigerians, the good people of Ondo State, and particularly the resilient, industrious, and peace-loving people of Okitipupa/Irele Federal Constituency.
Today, we commemorate a significant milestone in our nation’s democratic journey and celebrate the enduring values of freedom, justice, equality, and the rule of law. Democracy Day serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by our founding fathers, pro-democracy activists, and countless patriots who fought courageously to secure and sustain democratic governance in Nigeria.
As we honour their legacy, we must also renew our commitment to the principles that strengthen our democracy. Nation-building is a collective responsibility that requires unity, tolerance, active citizenship, and unwavering support for democratic institutions. It is through our shared efforts that we can continue to foster peace, promote development, and create opportunities for future generations.
I deeply appreciate the trust, support, and encouragement I have continued to receive from the people of Okitipupa/Irele Federal Constituency. Your unwavering belief in our shared vision for progress remains a source of inspiration and motivation.
As we celebrate this historic day, let us remain hopeful and steadfast in our pursuit of a more prosperous, secure, and inclusive Nigeria. Together, we can build a nation where the dividends of democracy are felt by every citizen and where our collective aspirations become a reality.
May this Democracy Day inspire renewed faith in our nation, strengthen our unity, and reinforce our commitment to a brighter future for all.
Happy Democracy Day!
