The National Democracy Stakeholders Group (NDSG) will host a walk led by President Bola Tinubu to mark 25 years of uninterrupted democracy in Nigeria.
The event, known as the National Democracy Solidarity Walk, will take place concurrently in all 36 states and Abuja on May 29th. The walk aims to bring together Nigerians from all walks of life to celebrate democracy and its enduring importance.
In Abuja, the walk will be led by President Tinubu, Vice President Kashim Shettima, Senate President Godswill Akpabio, Chief Justice of the Federation Olukayode Ariwoola, and Speaker of the House of Representatives Tajudeen Abbas.
In each state, the walk will be led by the governor, deputy governor, speaker of the state assembly, and chief judge.
NDSG Chairman Dr. Kletsaint Akor emphasized the significance of celebrating 25 years of sustained democracy, made possible by the unwavering commitment of Nigerians to democratic principles.
The Nigeria Democracy Week, scheduled from June 10th to 14th, 2024, will provide a platform to honor this journey and reaffirm the collective dedication to democratic governance.
Additionally, NDSG will launch its Book Chain, a research work detailing Nigeria’s governance culture from pre-colonial times to the present, featuring topics such as presidents, first ladies, and other prominent leaders.
