      Senate President Bukola Saraki post this photo above today and captioned it few minutes ago ''Since the dawn of our democracy on 29 May 1999, we have much to be thankful for as a nation.
Everyday, we strive to deliver greater dividends of democracy to the citizenry by steadily improving the economy and fulfilling the aspiration of our people.
Today, uppermost in the minds of Nigerians is the question of security, in many parts of the country. We must immediately find solutions to the security issues and ensure that we return to the regime of peace, safety of lives and property in all parts of our country. These are significant challenges we face, but with our current combined efforts, I believe that we will bring greater development to the country.
We cannot be celebrating Democracy Day without canvassing for caution on some recent negative developments in our polity, particularly as we prepare for next year's general elections.
These include abuse of office in a manner that suggests persecution and oppression of perceived enemies, stifling of free expression, undermining of democratic institutions, and impunity on the part of certain individuals who behave as though they are above the laws of the land.
History will not be fair to us if we allow our complacency to jeopardize democracy. We must all be able to speak out with strong voices on issues that constitute a danger to democracy.I would like us all to remember that Democracy is not just about elections. It also involves the rule of law, following due process, respecting and nurturing institutions. It is also unity of purpose while being accountable when we are in positions of authority. I will continue to advocate building up of our institutions, while upholding ethics and values.Above all, we must work for greater and better understanding among all Nigerians, notwithstanding ethnicity, language, religion or gender. We must avoid making and circulating hate speech which can further accentuate our fault lines and set one section of the country against the other. Rather, we should all embrace tolerance and the need to be our brother's keeper.We all have a lot to gain from a united and stronger Nigeria than having a nation embedded in conflict.Let us all focus on the things that bring us together, Happy Democracy Day''.
