🗳️ A New Democratic Tradition: Senate Moves to Formalise Annual June 12 Presidential Address
In a move set to deepen Nigeria’s democratic culture, the Senate is working to institutionalize an annual Presidential Address on June 12—Nigeria’s Democracy Day. This proposed legislation aims to ensure that every year, the President reflects on the nation’s democratic progress and outlines future commitments.
June 12, already recognized as Democracy Day to honor the legacy of the 1993 elections, could now carry even more weight as a day of national reflection, unity, and renewed political will.
If passed, this annual address would not only become a symbolic tradition but also a platform for transparency, national accountability, and civic engagement.
