3:41
history from this change we shall never
3:44
turn nor shall the anals of Mankind's
3:46
progress forget the sublime meaning of
3:47
those Great Moments today 25 years later
3:50
we celebrate the silver anniversary of
3:52
our journey in democracy we have studed
3:54
the cause democracy is neither a foreign
3:56
nor abstract concept the void of real
3:58
life meaning for us neither can we
4:00
afford to reduce or minimize it to being
4:02
nothing but the near holding of periodic
4:03
elections where one candidate and party
4:05
out do another while elections attract
4:07
dramatic attention they are both one
4:09
aspect of democracy democracy is a way
4:12
of life that encompasses a broad Outlook
4:14
of which elections are both the part as
4:16
such a nation can have elections without
4:18
being Democratic but a nation cannot be
4:20
truly Democratic without homeing
4:21
elections that we have established a
4:23
tradition of holding transparent open
4:26
and for elections gives credit to our
4:27
Democratic bearing that we have
4:29
experienced peaceful transitions of
4:31
government affirms our Democratic
4:32
temperament fellow Nigerians true
4:35
democracy shines its light into the
4:36
daily lives of the people who live under
4:38
its nurturing Wings it affords us the
4:40
freedom and liberty to think as we want
4:42
life where we want and P whatever
4:44
legitimate and La that suits US
4:46
democracy does not assume some falce or
4:48
F Unity or opinion in fact democracy
4:51
assumes that conflicting ideas and
4:52
different opinions shall be the order of
4:54
the day given the diversity and variety
4:56
of The Human Experience there must be
4:58
diverse perspectives and viewpoints
5:00
what democracy demands is that we do not
5:02
resolve differences through force and
5:03
depression but we make allowance for the
5:05
legitimacy of views that differ from our
5:07
own where other forms of government
5:09
impose against the will of the people
5:11
democracy aims to make leaders
5:12
sufficiently humble that they conduct
5:14
themselves as sonants of the common good
5:16
not ADV vious of the narrow interests of
5:17
the mighty my dear compatriots Nigeria
5:20
first a decision of Untold gravity 25
5:22
years ago whether to get toward a better
5:24
destination or continue endlessly in the
5:26
form of dictatorship we make the right
5:28
choice then we must continue with that
5:30
choice now as Nigerians we must remind
5:33
ourselves that no matter how complicated
5:35
democracy may be it is the best form of
5:37
governance in the long run we must also
5:39
be aware that there are those Among Us
5:40
who will try to exploit current
5:42
challenges to undermine if not destroy
5:44
this democracy for which so much has
5:46
already been given these people do this
5:48
not to make things better but to subject
5:50
all other people and things to their
5:51
control and dominance until the point
5:53
that if you are not counted among the
5:54
elite then your life will be small and
5:56
no longer owned by you this is The Great
5:58
Battle of our day and and the major
6:00
reason we especially celebrate this
6:01
democracy day fellow Nigerians our
6:04
democracy is more than a historical fact
6:06
it is a living breathing reality the
6:08
true meaning of this day is not to focus
6:10
solely on the great Dees of the past
6:11
that have brought us to this point yes
6:14
we pay Eternal honor to those who led
6:15
down their lives sacrificing everything
6:17
to pay the way for the nation I stand
6:19
uniquely placed in this regard I was
6:22
among those who took the risk to Meine
6:23
the birth of our democracy I am now a
6:26
direct and obvious beneficiary of the
6:27
fruits of those historic efforts as
6:30
president of this nation I am morally
6:31
and constitutionally bound to preserve
6:33
this precious form of governance I want
6:35
to do my utmost best to protect your
6:37
rights freedoms and Liberties as
6:39
citizens of Nigeria even more than that
6:42
I pledge to do whatever is necessary to
6:44
C democracy as our way of life although
6:46
the challenges are Ste and multiple I am
6:48
grateful to Le Nigeria at this moment in
6:50
her history and point in her Democratic
6:52
journey I come before you also to
6:54
declare that our most important work
6:56
remain remains before us this realing
6:57
test has never been whether we would
6:59
rise to challenge the slings of
7:00
Misfortune and Grievous pain of
7:01
dictatorship the real test is whether we
7:04
shall lower our guards as the shadow of
7:05
despotism and its evident physical
7:07
danger Fay I said to you here and now
7:09
that as we celebrate the enshrinement of
7:11
our political democracy let us commit
7:13
ourselves to the Fulfillment of its
7:14
equally important counterpart the
7:16
realization of our economic democracy I
7:19
understand the economic difficulties we
7:20
face as a nation our economy has been in
7:22
desperate need of reform for decades it
7:24
has been unbalanced because it was built
7:26
on the Flor Foundation of over Reliance
7:28
on revenues from the exploitation of oil
7:30
the reforms we have initiated are
7:32
intended to create a stronger better
7:33
foundation for future growth there is no
7:36
doubt the reforms have occasioned
7:37
hardship yet there are necessary reords
7:39
required to fix the economy over the
7:41
long run so that everyone has access to
7:42
Economic Opportunity Fair pay and
7:44
compensation for his end and labor as we
7:47
continue to reform the economy I shall
7:49
always listen to the people and will
7:50
never turn my back on you in this Spirit
7:53
we have negotiated in good faith and
7:54
with open arms with organized labor on a
7:56
new national minimum wage we shall soon
7:58
send an ex Bill to the National Assembly
8:00
to exine what has been agreed upon as
8:02
part of our law for the next 5 years or
8:04
less in the face of Labor's call for a
8:06
national strike we did not seek to
8:08
oppress or crack down on the workers as
8:10
a dictatorial government would have done
8:12
we chose the part of cooperation over
8:14
conflict no one was arrested or
8:15
threatened instead the label leadership
8:18
was invited to break bread and negotiate
8:19
toward a good faith resolution reason
8:22
discussion and principled compromise are
8:23
whole marks of democracy these things
8:25
shall continue to animate my policies
8:27
and interaction with the constituent
8:28
parts of our political economy I take on
8:31
this vital task without fear or favor
8:33
and I commit myself to this work until
8:34
we have built a Nigeria where no man is
8:36
oppressed in the end our national
8:38
greatness will not be achieved by
8:40
traveling the easy Road it can only be
8:42
achieved by taking the right one the
8:44
words of the American president Franklin
8:46
Roosevelt Sly ring true there are many
8:48
ways of going forward but only one way
8:50
of standing still we die not slumberless
8:52
the good things are waited our immediate
8:54
future pass Us by we now not plant our
8:56
feet in an ID stand still in the middle
8:58
of the intersection of hope and despair
9:00
we know the proper way forward and we
9:02
shall take it the initial RS of OB Brier
9:04
tomorrow now appear on the early Horizon
9:06

9:14
