Those who hated democracy and equality tried to break his spirit and make him lose hope that democracy would ever come to our land. Here, I must commend President Buhari for having the political courage to make June 12 Democracy Day. Despite political opposition, President Buhari helped set the record straight by making today, June 12, Democracy Day. Democracy Day and our commemoration of it must not descend into empty ritual. I wish all Nigerians a memorable Democracy Day and many more years of enduring democracy.
