Fubara in a statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Nelson Chukwudi stressed that democracy must be actively protected and nurtured in order to remain strong and meaningful.


He reaffirmed his strong commitment to upholding the rule of law, protecting fundamental human rights, and ensuring that all citizens, regardless of political affiliation, can actively participate in the democratic process.


He also emphasised his administration’s dedication to safeguarding lives and property through robust security strategies and pledged to continue defending the state’s interests and to maintain a government that valued inclusivity, transparency, and accountability.


Reflecting on Nigeria’s 26 years of continuous democratic rule, the suspended governor called for collaboration across political divides to build a society where every citizen could be heard, supported to achieve their potential, and encouraged to contribute to collective progress.


Fubara noted that the state’s democratic experience has come with both victories and challenges, each reinforcing the need to stay true to the principles of democracy.
