A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and former vice President, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, has adviced Nigerians to support democracy and avoid having the military back in power.
In a goodwill message to mark the Democracy Day celebration, Atiku noted that democracy and the representative government which it brings to birth remains the best and only hope for the country.
A statement by his Media Office in Abuja, Atiku said: “Nigerians should be proud of themselves for doing away with military governments in 1999, in favour of democracy, which the world over, gives voice and a sense of belonging to more people in the society.”
According to him, “Since Nigeria instituted the democratic system in 1999, the nation has been able to accomplish a lot in social, economic and human development.”
