By Business A.M.

Edo Concerned Stakeholders have advocated for capable leaders within the age group of 35 to 55 to promote transparent governance and transform the narrative of Edo State and Nigeria in general, through strategic collaborations, advocacy, and the mobilization of youths from different walks of life.

The dynamic group dedicated to restoring Edo State’s glory, made the call  in a statement commemorating the restoration of democratic governance in Nigeria. This, it said, serves as a reminder of the collective responsibility to uphold and strengthen democratic principles.

In celebrating Democracy Day, the group  encouraged citizens, particularly the youths, to reflect on the significance of democracy and the role each individual plays in shaping the destiny of their state and nation. It also emphasizes the importance of active civic participation, responsible voting, and engagement with political processes to ensure a government that truly represents the interests of the people.

“Democracy Day holds a special place in the hearts of Nigerians as it symbolizes the triumph of the people’s will and their right to participate in the decision-making processes that shape the nation’s future. Edo Concerned Stakeholders acknowledges the importance of democracy as a catalyst for positive change and sees this day as an opportunity to reaffirm their commitment to advancing democratic ideals in Edo State and beyond,” they stated.

The group, therefore,  urged citizens to embrace the spirit of democracy, hold their leaders accountable, and actively participate in shaping the future of Edo State and Nigeria.

They also noted  that by upholding democratic principles, Nigeria can overcome challenges, achieve sustainable development, and create a society that upholds justice, equality, and prosperity for all.
