Democracy Day: My Thoughts (Osun State)

by Fatai Akinbade

Democracy as a system of installing government, has no doubt, become a new world order. From the elementary perspectives, it provides the people with the latitude of choosing those that will lead them at every defined time. Its timing and setting, differs from country to country. By design, today is Nigeria's Democracy Day. 

To us in Osun State, this is very instructive. This is because in about three months from now, precisely in September this year, our good people will file out to choose a new governor.

Today's celebration can only be meaningful if we as a people, do the needful by choosing right; by doing away with primordial sentiments that have been holding us down till now.

To my party, the Peoples Democratic Party, this is another golden opportunity for us to rescue our people currently going through harrowing experience in the hands of the interlopers led by Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola's All Progressive Congress. 

Osun has suffered enough denigration of different magnitude in the hands of these pretenders. Therefore, my party should choose right.

I,Alhaji Fatai Akinade Akinbade, represent the paradigm shift. Without sounding off, our dear people are eagerly waiting for me to fly the flag our esteemed party come September this year as its candidate. With God and the valued support of our people, I am confident that we shall coast home to victory

Innately, I have service spirit. Consequent upon my previous journeys in government, I have been adequately imbued with the experience to shoulder the assignment of governance to a successful berth if given the opportunity. I have always been driven by the passion  of giving my best to this worthy cause.

To make this democratic desire achievable, we all have roles to play. While our party ensures the best is presented to the state to stand at the polls, our dear people should be steadfast and never be sagged in the spirit. 

No man goes to war without his/her fighting tool(s). In the same vein, you can not vote in the coming governorship election in Osun State unless you armed with your PVC. There are thousands still uncollected, please go for yours if you have not.

While congratulating Nigerians and in particular our people in Osun on this occasion, I want to advise that nothing should distract us from our march to victory.

Osun adeero oooo!

Happy Democracy Day
