Senator Ede Dafinone, the Senator representing the good people of Delta Central Senatorial District of Delta State in the Senate, has extended his congratulations to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and all Nigerians on the significant occasion of 25 years of uninterrupted democratic rule in the country.

The Federal lawmaker said June 12 holds significant historical importance as it symbolizes more than just a date.

According to him, June 12 serves as a reminder to all Nigerians of the united struggle for democracy, justice, and the rule of law.

In a statement released on Tuesday, Dafinone urged Nigerians to commemorate the brave individuals who fought for the democratic governance that the country presently upholds.

He said: “I extend my heartfelt congratulations to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and all Nigerians as our beloved country commemorates 25 years of unbroken democratic rule. This significant milestone is a testament to the resilience, dedication, and unwavering commitment of the Nigerian people to the principles of democracy and freedom.

“As we celebrate this historic day, let us remember the sacrifices of those who fought valiantly for the democracy we now enjoy. June 12th is not just a date; it symbolizes our collective struggle for justice, equity, and the rule of law. It is a reminder of the power of the people’s voice and the strength of our democratic institutions.

“I urge every Nigerian to embrace unity, love, and respect for one another. In our diversity lies our strength, and it is only through mutual understanding and cooperation that we can achieve the greatness we aspire to as a nation. Let us set aside our differences and work together towards a common goal: a peaceful, prosperous, and democratic Nigeria.

“Furthermore, I call on all citizens to deepen their engagement in participatory democracy. It is our collective responsibility to guard against antidemocratic tendencies and ensure that our democratic values and culture are firmly entrenched at all levels of society. Let us hold our leaders accountable, participate actively in the democratic process, and foster an environment where every Nigerian feels valued and heard.

“As we celebrate this momentous occasion, let us renew our commitment to building a Nigeria where democracy thrives, where every citizen enjoys their fundamental rights, and where the future is bright for generations to come.

“Once again, congratulations to President Bola Tinubu, the Urhobo Nation and to all Nigerians. Together, let us continue to strive for a more united and democratic nation.

“God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.”
