Politics Democracy Day: Soludo to speak on national rebirth at June 12 ‘Platform’

Gov. Chukwuma Soludo of Anambra is set to deliver an address on national rebirth at the 2025 June 12 ‘Platform’ in Lagos, an event marking the country’s Democracy Day.

This is contained in a statement by Gov. Soludo’s Press Secretary, Mr Christian Aburime, issued to our correspondent on Tuesday in Awka.

Aburime said that the event, organised by the Covenant Nation, has the theme “Rebuilding the Nation”.

He said that the governor’s anticipated democracy day address was coming at a time when many Nigerians are expressing doubts about the country’s current direction.

“With the country grappling with economic uncertainty, political distrust and mounting insecurity, many Nigerians are looking for more than familiar rhetoric.

“Over the years, the Platform has become a venue for thought-provoking national dialogue and Gov. Soludo’s message is expected to offer more than critique.

“His address promises to lay out tangible policy directions, grounded in experience and strategic insight.

“It is also expected that his speech will deliver both insight and practical guidance, vital in a time of national urgency,” he said.

Aburime identified dignitaries expected to speak at the event as Gov. Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos State, Ameenah Gurib-Fakim, first female President of the Republic of Mauritius and Alhaji Yakubu Dogara, former Speaker of the House of Representatives.

Others are Mr Babatunde Fashola, former Minister of Works and Housing and Prof. Attahiru Jega, former Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission.
