Dr Bukola Saraki has urged Nigerians to guard the country’s democracy jealously and shun acts that could truncate it.
The Senate President pointed out that though the system was yet to be perfect, democracy was still the best way to realise the country’s development aspirations.
“We must preserve democracy at all costs. It is the duty of everyone, all the citizens of the country.
“No matter the problems we are facing, democracy is still the best form of government to guarantee development “, he said.
Saraki said the media had contributed to the survival of democracy in the country through agenda setting and playing the role of a watchdog.
He urged the media not to relent on its efforts at promoting the country’s development and making Nigeria a better place.
The Senate President described Wednesday’s invasion of the Senate and snatching of the mace by hoodlums as primitive and disgraceful.
