As the nation celebrates 25 years of uninterrupted democratic rule, the governing All Progressives Congress (APC) has assured Nigerians of better days ahead.

The assurance was given on Wednesday in a statement by the APC National Publicity Secretary, Felix Morka in Abuja to commemorate this year’s Democracy Day.

Acknowledging the challenges faced by the country in recent time, the governing party expressed optimism that the country is on the right path to democratic consolidation and prosperity.

The APC expressed gratitude to Nigerians for their support and assured them that the party is committed to delivering a better, safer, stronger, and more prosperous country.

Admitting that democracy is not without its imperfections and challenges, the party noted that the country has had its fair share of setbacks, pain and disappointments.

The statement said: “These are inevitable and inescapable by-products of democratic construction. But importantly, it has set us, irreversibly, on course to build a strong, vibrant and resilient nation. Democracy provides us the opportunity of essential freedom to harness our finest human and material resources, under the participatory authority of our people, for beneficial and sustainable governance.

“On the occasion of democracy’s silver jubilee, it is remarkably auspicious that our country is under the leadership of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, a veteran advocate and defender of democracy, an exemplary progressive and visionary whose contributions to the enthronement of democracy and nation building is simply monumental.”

Highlighting the success stories of the APC-led administration in the last year, the party maintained that, “President Tinubu administration has made impressive gains revamping our infrastructure to support the massive expansion of the Nigerian economy, implemented multi-sector reforms to remove age-long debilitating policy distortions and contradictions in the economy, tackled insecurity and revitalized the country’s security architecture, channeled resources to important social investments and poverty alleviation initiatives, and initiated constructive engagements with relevant stakeholders aimed at achieving better wages and living standards for citizens.

“President Tinubu’s bold target of building a $1 trillion economy for Nigeria in a few short years received amplified validation by the International Monetary Fund’s (IMF) recent forecast that Nigeria’s economy would be nearly $2 trillion by 2029. There can be no better indication that the Renewed Hope Agenda is right on course, and that our best days are ahead.”

Appreciating Nigerians for their unwavering support of President Tinubu’s administration and the party, Morka expressed confidence that the democracy being celebrated will usher in an era of economic freedom and secure a brighter future for our highly deserving citizens.
