The Kebbi state chairman of the council, engineer Ahmed Abubakar Khalifa in a statement on Friday described democracy day as a day to look back with a view to correcting anomalies which may threaten enduring democracy.
” Government at all levels should bring youth closer to the government to ensure fairness as they are pillar of democracy, we salute our courageous youth for their sacrifices to sustainanance of democracy,we also share the joy of democracy day with governor of Kebbi state,Dr Nasir Idris”.
Khalifa added that the season coincided with the council’s local polls being organized by the state chapter to deepen internal democracy of the youth body in the state.
“To ensure sustainability of internal democracy we pledged to do justice at the local polls as it will serve as litmus taste to main elections of state positions.
He urged youth to support leaders at all levels to sustain democracy and to avoid any action that may threaten democracy in the country because democracy remains the best system of government that is fair to youth and the old in Nigeria.
