  INSECURITY AND KIDNAPPING; FIWON CALLS FOR SOCIAL PROTECTION AS NATIONAL SECURITY IMPERATIVE. By allcitynews.ng  As Nigeria marks another Democracy Day, the Federation of Informal Workers Organizations of Nigeria (FIWON) is deeply concerned over the escalating wave of insecurity, banditry, and kidnapping across the nation, warning that the current crisis cannot be separated from the structural exclusion and social vulnerability of the vast majority of Nigerian working people. While we at FIWON recognize that June 12 is meant to celebrate the restoration of democracy and the will of the Nigerian people for democratic governance,  democracy unfortunately has remained hollow for millions of informal working people and unemployed Nigerians, who live without electricity and affordable fuel to power production and gainful employment, and without the most basic social protection.  THE DEMOCRACY DAY PARADOX Whereas Democracy is supposed to deliver dividends to the people—s...

The president described June 12 as a defining moment in Nigeria’s history and urged Nigerians to preserve and strengthen democratic institutions. “Today, we honour the resilience of Nigerians who refused to surrender their faith in freedom, and the courage of those who stood firm against intimidation.

  Posted by allcitynews.ng    Fellow Nigerians   Today, we celebrate democracy and the enduring Nigerian spirit. For 27 unbroken years, since May 29, 1999, Nigerians have chosen their leaders through the ballot, witnessed peaceful transitions of power, and resolved disagreements in courtrooms and legislative chambers—not through violence. We have experienced the longest stretch of civilian rule in our history. Our democracy is not perfect, but it is ours, and we must continue to defend and strengthen it.   In the coming days, Ekiti and Osun States will hold elections. I urge INEC, security agencies, and all parties to ensure these polls are peaceful and credible. Democracy fails when citizens doubt the process. To our National Assembly, Judiciary, the Press, and Civil Society: you are the guardrails of our republic. Criticise me, disagree with me, but never stop believing in Nigeria.   To our young people: Nigeria is your home and your future. Build here, c...
