this change we shall never turn nor
3:44
shall the anals of Mankind's progress
3:46
forget the sublime meaning of those
3:47
Great Moments today 25 years later we
3:51
celebrate the silver anniversary of our
3:52
journey in democracy we have studed the
3:55
cause democracy is neither a foreign nor
3:57
abstract concept the void of real life
3:58
meaning for us neither can we afford to
4:00
reduce or minimize it to being nothing
4:02
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 holding
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 Anda that suits US democracy
4:46
does not assume some falce or FAL Unity
4:48
of opinion in fact democracy assumes
4:51
that conflicting ideas and different
4:53
opinions shall be the order of the day
4:55
given the diversity and variety of The
4:56
Human Experience there must be diverse
4:58
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 sants 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 real test
6:58
has never been whether we would rise to
6:59
challenge the slings of Misfortune and
7:01
Grievous pain of dictatorship the
7:03
realing test is whether we shall lower
7:04
our guards as the shadow of despotism
7:06
and its evident physical danger Fay I
7:08
said to you here and now that as we
7:10
celebrate the enshrinement of our
7:11
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 certainly ring true there are
8:48
many ways of going forward but only one
8:50
way of standing still we D not
8:52
slumberless the good things are waited
8:53
our immediate future pass Us by we now
8:56
not plant our feet in an ID stand still
8:58
in the middle of the intersection of
8:59
hope and despair we know the proper way
9:01
forward and we shall take it the initial
9:03
RS of a Brier tomorrow now appear on the
9:05
early Horizon an abundant future and our
9:08
capacity to achieve that future like
9:09
within our reach democracy and the
9:11

9:13
to our profound destination let us B
9:16
this Progressive train together together
