News Investigators/ The All Progressives Congress (APC) has reaffirmed its commitment to democratic principles, expressing full support for President Bola Tinubu’s policies and programmes.
Felix Morka, the party’s National Publicity Secretary, said this in a statement on Thursday in Abuja while congratulating Nigerians on the occasion of the 2025 June 12 Democracy Day anniversary.
“Democratic governance remains the best solution to Nigeria’s challenges, and this administration is putting democracy to work for the economy, peace, well-being, and security of all our people.
“We commend Nigerians for their patient support of President Tinubu’s administration and for enduring the transient difficulties faced.
“As the president continues to tackle our national challenges at their roots, with evident signs of a steadily rebounding economy, we stand firmly with him and his administration’s valiant efforts to build a brighter future for all Nigerians,” Morka said.
He described Democracy Day as a worthy occasion of collective pride as the nation continued to consolidate democracy and entrench progress for current and future generations.
“Democracy stands as the preferred mode of governance not because of its perfection, but because, even in its imperfections, it affords citizens the finest opportunity to exercise their sovereign right to freely choose those who govern them.
“In its fundamental elements, democracy represents the most profound recognition and protection of the rule of law and fundamental liberties compared to other governance models,” Mr Morka explained.
He expressed gratitude to compatriots for their vision, courage, and love of country, who sacrificed through struggles to end arbitrariness, oppressive military tyranny, and dictatorship for the benefit of all Nigerians.
He said as the nation marked Democracy Day, Nigeria was led by one of democracy’s finest, fearless, and resilient champions, President Tinubu, a visionary leader.
Mr Morka described Tinubu as a bold reformer, adding that under his watch, the country had risen to tackle deep-seated structural challenges hindering national growth and development.
According to him, Tinubu’s policies, designed to promote social and economic inclusion, have secured improved minimum wage, access to student loans, and better healthcare, among others.
He highlighted that the administration had achieved financial autonomy for Local Governments and increased federal allocations to states.
“The administration is now positioned to pay off loans and improve service and infrastructure delivery, while tertiary institutions are better funded, and incessant strikes have been abated.
“The era of politicised and polarising conflicts among democratic institutions is far behind us.
“It has been replaced by an evolving culture of institutional autonomy anchored on a shared commitment to promoting the common good of Nigerians.
“The peaceful and collaborative relationship between the Executive and Legislative branches, backed by a vibrant and independent Judiciary, has proven more creative for progress in our country than ever before,” Morka said.
He acknowledged that in spite of growing insecurity in the Sahel region and its spillover impact on Nigeria, the Tinubu-led administration continued to tackle insecurity with ironclad resolve and many recorded successes nationwide.
