                         Lagos State Governor,Mr Akinwunmi Ambode on sunday said one of the best ways Nigeria can immortalise the late winner of June 12,1993 Presidential election,Chief M.K.O Abiola,is to entrench viable democracy,just as he said that such can only be achieved through the practice of true federalism which is currently not in place in the country.Governor Ambode,who spoke in Lagos at a event organised by the State's Office of Civic Engagement to mark the 23rd Anniversary of June 12,said Nigeria owe the late Abiola a duty to entrench democracy in the system and practice it the right way.Speaking on the theme:Democracy and Inclusiveness:Basis For Good Governance''.Governor Ambode,who was represented by the Secretary to the State Government,Mr Tunji Bello,said June 12 would continued to be remembered,but that the country must be prepared to travel through the journey of ensuring the right things are done in proper ways.He said ''This is a day we must continue to remember because we have been practicing democracy and at the end of the day,we are not actually doing what we should be doing.If you look at the topic of today,it says Democracy and its inclusiveness,what we have today,we still have a long way to go,and that is to say that we are not practicing true federalism.What we owe Nigeria today is nothing but true Federalism and for us to be able to achieve true federalism,we have to work hard for it and that is the message the Governor has asked me to deliver.We still have a long way to go.If you want to honour him,we owe him a duty to ensure that we install a viable democracy and that viable democracy can only be installed if we have true federalism which we are presently not practicing,and that is very important''.One more photo below.
