Governor Chukwuma Soludo, CFR, says democracy all over the world is a continuous struggle towards a better society.
Governor Soludo stated this during a special mass to mark Nigeria’s June 12 Democracy Day Celebration at the Governor’s Lodge, Amawbia.
The Governor hinted that nation building is a consequence of struggle for class, social or otherwise.
He said that values such as focus, determination and perseverance are indispensable in this kind of struggle.
According to Governor Soludo, there is no perfect society anywhere in the world, accounting for various contestations and contradictions, adding however that they bring out the best in the society.
The Governor pointed out that for Ndi Anambra, it is a struggle to build a liveable and prosperous homeland where everybody has very fundamental role to play.
Governor Soludo recalled that bonding together, Nigeria consistently struggled against dictatorship during which many people even paid the ultimate price.
He stressed that the sacrifices by the late MKO Abiola and others, in the course of the struggle that gave rise to the Democracy Day celebration will not be taken for granted.
