As Nigerians commemorate the 2023 Democracy Day on June 12 (today), former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar has asserted that democracy in Nigeria remains in bondage and it will need the energy of all Nigerians to rescue it.

In a statement released yesterday, the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the February 25, 2023 election said governing elite must stop influencing election outcomes.

Atiku said the occasion of Democracy Day is a time for Nigerians to reflect on the country’s journey to becoming a democratic society.
