REPORTER: BEN ILECHUKWU
Governor Chukwuma Soludo says democracy all over the world is a continuous struggle towards a better society.
Governor Soludo stated this during a special mass to mark Nigeria’s June 12 Democracy Day Celebration at Governor’s Lodge, Amawbia.
The Governor says nation building is a continuous struggle sustained by focus, determination and perseverance.
Governor Soludo, who argues that there is no perfect society anywhere, notes that various contestations and contradictions help to bring out the best in the society.
He points out that for the people of Anambra State, the struggle is about building a liveable and prosperous homeland, where everybody has very fundamental role to play.
Governor Soludo recalls that Nigeria has consistently struggled against dictatorship during which many patriots paid the ultimate price.
He stresses that the sacrifices by the late MKO Abiola and others, in the cause of the struggle that gave rise to the Democracy Day celebration will not be taken for granted or forgotten.
