He specifically appealed to him to “do the needful for citizens, anchoring his actions on adherence to rule of law, respect for human rights, freedom of expression, equity and justice.”


The Senate President said he anticipated an egalitarian society under the new government where all citizens would be safe and protected to live and carry out his or her legitimate duty without fear of molestation or harassment in any part of Nigeria.


Mark, who stated this in his goodwill message to Nigerians on the occasion of Democracy Day celebration, also said “all hands must be on the deck where everyone plays his or her role to ensure that our democracy endures.”


The Senate President took stock of the 16 years of uninterrupted democratic rule in Nigeria and urged citizens to persevere more for the continued sustenance of the system of government.


He said, “All Nigerians deserves commendation .We have done well so far . We must strive more to make democracy a way of life.


“As an active participant in our democratic journey since 1999, I can say without any fear of contradiction that our democracy has endured.


“The successes recorded so far especially with the last general elections clearly shows the unwavering commitment of Nigerians to its fruition.”
