As Nigeria commemorates 26 years of uninterrupted democratic governance, a stalwart of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and former House of Representatives candidate for the Owo/Ose Federal Constituency, Chief Oluwaseyi Gabriel Ogundare, has extended warm greetings to Nigerians in celebration of Democracy Day 2025.
In a goodwill message released to mark the occasion, Hon. Ogundare, popularly known as Hon. OGO, described the day as more than a symbolic event, but a reflection of the enduring spirit and collective resilience of the Nigerian people.
“Democracy isn’t just about elections or political structures,” he said.
“It’s about the perseverance of the market trader, the aspirations of the youth, and the unshaken hope of millions of Nigerians who continue to believe in this country, regardless of the challenges.”
Reflecting on Nigeria’s democratic journey since the return to civil rule in 1999, Hon. OGO stressed the importance of transparent and inclusive governance.
He paid tribute to the sacrifices of Nigeria’s democratic heroes and urged current leaders to uphold the values of good governance, justice, and equitable development.
He emphasized that the true strength of democracy lies in leadership that puts the people first, noting that progress is attainable when citizens feel the impact of government in their daily lives.
“As we celebrate Democracy Day, we must renew our commitment to building a Nigeria that works for all—whether in rural communities or urban centres, among the youth or the elderly,” he stated.
“Let us uphold the ideals of democracy through responsible service, accountability, and unwavering patriotism.”
OGO expressed optimism that with sustained effort and unity, Nigeria can move beyond its current challenges toward a future defined by peace, prosperity, and genuine progress.
