Democracy Day: Adamawa Governor laments growing Mistrust, other Values

PRESS RELEASE

Adamawa State Governor, Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri

Adamawa State Governor, Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri, has congratulated Nigerians on the Celebration of 26 years of unbroken Democracy.

The Governor in a Statement issued by his Spokesman, Humwashi Wonosikou, called on Nigerians to appreciate the Nation’s path to greatness, evident in the developmental strides and wealth creation witnessed across the Country.

"Today, we celebrate an extraordinary Nigerian journey of 26 years, marked by Transformation, Growth, and the deepening of Democracy," he said.

While regretting that Rights and Values are under attack, Freedoms are being eroded, and Civic Space is diminishing, he stressed that polarisation is intensifying and mistrust is growing.

The Governor commended Nigerians for upholding their Sacred Duty to protect, preserve, and promote the Constitution.

He noted the resilience of Adamawa's Electorate, during the 2023 Elections whose steadfastness has enabled the State to remain an Oasis of Peace and Prosperity.

"As patriotic Citizens, you were charged with a historic task: ensuring that Democracy was not subverted. You did that very well, and today, your commitment has put our State on a solid Foundation that has allowed us to sustain our developmental strides."

Governor Fintiri stated that their sacrifice reminds him "that Authority is a Public Trust to be exercised in a manner that brings to the State full Accountability to the People by whom, and for whom we hold that Authority."

The Governor, happy about the maturity of Nigeria's Democracy, reassured the People of Adamawa that the Transition witnessed in all Sectors will continue until his last day in Office.

"That is my solemn promise to our People."

However, the Governor warned that attempts to subvert the Constitutional Framework damage Democracy, undermine the Rule of Law, and weaken our Constitutional Development and Nation.

He appealed to Nigerians to keep building a more Inclusive, Just, and Equal Society for a greater Future.
