Dr. Abdul-Azeez Olajide Adediran JANDOR, chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and Lead Visioner of the Lagos4Lagos Movement, extends warm congratulations to Lagosians and Nigerians alike on the occasion of the 2026 Democracy Day celebration.
Dr. Adediran states that June 12 occupies a unique place in Nigeria’s political history as a symbol of the people’s collective struggle for democratic governance, justice and the sanctity of the ballot. It serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by patriots who stood firmly for democratic ideals and ultimately paved the way for the democratic system we enjoy today.
As we commemorate this historic day, it is important for all of us to place nation-building above personal interests and partisan considerations. The strength of any democracy lies in the commitment of its Leaders to the common good, the rule of law and the welfare of the people on one hand, and to the citizen’s observance of their civic responsibility on the other hand.
JANDOR also encourages Nigerian youths to become active participants in the political process. From party membership and policy engagement to electoral participation and public service, young people must take ownership of the nation’s future. Given Nigeria’s predominantly youthful population and the significant voting strength of young citizens, they possess the capacity to influence governance and drive meaningful change across the country.
JANDOR commends President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, for demonstrating courage through bold policy decisions and for providing transformational leadership aimed at repositioning Nigeria for sustainable economic growth and national development.
He also applauds the president and the security agencies for their renewed efforts and notable successes in tackling insecurity, kidnapping, banditry and other criminal activities threatening national peace and stability.
As the nation marks another Democracy Day, JANDOR calls on citizens to remain hopeful, united and committed to the ideals of democracy, good governance and national development.
“Together, we can build a stronger, safer and more prosperous Nigeria. Happy Democracy Day, Nigeria,” JANDOR said.
