Apostle Biodun Sanyaolu Democracy Day Message to Nigerians.

........... Congratulate Dr Dapo Abiodun as he takes the mantle of Ogun State.

Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Chieftain in Ogun Central Senatorial District, Apostle Biodun Sanyaolu has charged Nigerians to “keep and nurture democracy, not for the sake of democracy but for the sake of the country”.

Apostle Sanyaolu said Nigerians should not fall asleep.

In a statement issued by his Media Assistant, Lamidi Obayomi, said: “Democracy Day and our commemoration of it must be more than an empty ritual. It must add up to more than another reason to have another holiday.

“We, as a people, choose democracy as our preferred form of governance not because it would be easy to achieve or to hold even once we have it. We choose democracy because history has taught us that the welfare of the people is best and perhaps only secured by government responsive and accountable to the people. This can only be democracy.

“We mark this day to keep in remembrance that we must not take this good form of government for granted. We must keep and nurture it, not for democracy’s sake but for our own sake. We must remember that should we fall asleep, there are those who would like nothing better than to take it from us. We must remain vigilant and by doing so ensure a better future and better Nigeria for ourselves and our progeny.

“Thus, I congratulate the Good People of Ogun State on this day. I congratulate the new Governor of Ogun State, Dr Dapo Abiodun and urge him and his administration to do all it can to protect and improve our democratic way of life in Ogun State.
