Our democracy has come of age! What we now need is men of ideas, vision and moral courage to do what is right, as we move forward we must never lose hope, yes, we are very far from where wish to be but if we keep taking steps of courage one after the other we will get there.
The sacrifice of Chief Moshood Abiola will never go in vain. ‘Hope 93’ is not dead rather on its ashes more leaders will rise.
Let everyone man or woman become what he or she wishes this country to become, it is much of an internal journey as it is an external journey. If you wish this country to become the light then you must become the light.
The Ireland and China of 100 years ago is not the same because men rise to their sense of duty, this same country can be the greatest country in the world it all depends on you and me, are we willing to fight , to stand and to do all that must be done. This is an answer which each and every one of us must answer. There is no shortcut to greatness.
To the young generation the fire must never go out you are the last hope of mankind!
I have a strong hope that Kogi state will get it right, Nigeria will get it right and the black race will come to understand that we are a gift to the world.
‘ignis non extinguendus est’
Happy Democracy day .
