Buhari<\/a> said necessary mechanisms would be strengthened to ensure that Nigeria witness another peaceful transfer of power.<\/p>\nHe said: \u201cAs we countdown to our next general elections in 2023, we remain committed to putting in place and strengthening all necessary mechanisms to ensure that Nigeria will not only record another peaceful transfer of power to an elected democratic government, but will also ensure that the elections are conducted in a free, fair and transparent manner.<\/p>\n
\u201cYour Excellencies, Nigeria will continue to actively support the democratisation processes in our region West Africa and the African continent at large. But regrettably, our democratic gains of the past decades are under threats of unconstitutional takeover of power.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis unwholesome trend, sometimes in reaction to unilateral amendments of constitutions by some leaders, must not be tolerated by the international community.<\/p>\n
\u201cNigeria fully supports the efforts by ECOWAS to address this growing challenge and appreciates the support of both the African Union and the United Nations,\u2019\u2019 he added.<\/p>\n
According to the president, Nigeria continues to face security challenges which pose a threat to democracy.<\/p>\n
He called on global partners to support Nigeria\u2019s efforts in tackling insurgency and terrorism.\u2019<\/p>\n
\u201cI am proud to state that Nigeria has had over two decades of uninterrupted democratic governance and has unequivocally remained committed to upholding the core values and principles of democracy.<\/p>\n
\u201cSince assuming office in 2015, we have been able to introduce mechanisms to ensure free, fair and credible elections.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have strengthened our key anti-corruption agencies in collaboration with international partners and have undertaken several anti-corruption measures and initiatives,\u2019\u2019 he said.<\/p>\n
The Nigerian leader thanked President Joe Biden, government and people of the United States for hosting the Summit.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs you are aware, democracy has remained the most popular and universally recognised way of governance thus far.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is one governance system that guarantees freedom of speech, rule of law, respect for human rights and inclusiveness in governance.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt also promotes social justice, economic and social development and national and global peace.<\/p>\n
\u201cHowever, in spite of these laudable qualities, more is required from us as members of democratic societies, particularly in ensuring that democratic institutions and processes are strengthened, particularly during this period of a global pandemic which has threatened social cohesion in most democracies.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe, therefore, must remain resolute and enhance cooperation, so that together, we build back better democratic institutions and sustainable democratic values,\u2019\u2019 the president added.<\/p>\n
President Buhari noted that the summit was taking place at a time when democratic institutions around the world were facing several challenges.<\/p>\n
According to him, the summit will help promote a positive agenda for democratic renewal by focusing on some of the major challenges faced by democracies today.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is hoped that through our collective action, we can safeguard democratic values and principles,\u2019\u2019 he said.<\/p>\n
The president said the devastating impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, which had made it impossible to convene the meeting face to face, had taken a heavy toll on economies, health and democratic processes around the world.<\/p>\n
\u201cNevertheless, we have witnessed the resilience of democratic institutions in many countries that have held free, fair and transparent democratic elections under very challenging conditions,\u2019\u2019 he added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
