As thousands of young Nigerians gathered in Abuja for the Nigeria Youth Walk for Democracy and Renewed Hope to mark this year’s Democracy Day, the National Youth Council of Nigeria (NYCN) has commended the President of the Senate, His Excellency, Senator Godswill Obot Akpabio, for his stabilizing leadership and strategic collaboration with the executive arm in advancing the nation’s democratic governance.
In a spirited address delivered by NYCN President, Comrade Solomon Adodo, the council celebrated Senator Akpabio as a cornerstone of Nigeria’s institutional harmony, whose legislative stewardship continues to uphold and safeguard the core tenets of democracy.
“The peace and continuity we enjoy in our democratic process today is largely attributed to a functional and cooperative National Assembly. Under Senator Akpabio’s leadership, the Senate has worked with maturity, dialogue, and foresight, providing the enabling environment for the Renewed Hope Agenda to thrive.” Adodo said.
Held in Abuja on Thursday, with participants marching from Unity Fountain to Eagle Square, the walk attracted thousands of youth leaders, civil society groups, student unions, and government officials. While paying homage to the heroes of June 12, the event also spotlighted modern champions of democracy, with Senator Akpabio singled out for his role in ensuring institutional balance and effective policy implementation through legislative action.
The Council, praised the Senate’s collaborative posture, noting that it has enabled the swift passage of youth-centered reforms, economic development legislation, and critical national security bills, all instrumental in addressing Nigeria’s complex challenges.
“Akpabio’s leadership in the Senate has been pivotal in reducing friction between the branches of government, creating a more stable political environment where national policies are aligned and executed seamlessly.”
Comrade Adodo, also emphasized that the success of President Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda is closely tied to the National Assembly’s support in passing responsive and timely legislation. Under Senator Akpabio, the Senate has maintained a steady focus on national interest, transparency, and progressive engagement.
“Democracy is a collective enterprise. It demands cooperation, sacrifice, and vision. Senator Akpabio has modeled these values, ensuring that the National Assembly remains a true partner in governance and a pillar of democratic stability.” He added.
