Human Rights Activist and former Senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Senator Shehu Sani, has expressed the need to redefine the nation’s democracy to meet the reality and address it’s challenges.

Sani noted that it is important we remind ourselves that this democracy that we call a civil rule was a product of the sweat and blood of some Nigerians.

He recalled that many Nigerians who protested and fought for the restoration of our democracy were either sent to jail, exiled or even killed in their struggle against the military dictators.

This was expressed at a conference, marking the 10th remembrance anniversary of Dr. Nelson Mandela, organized by the National Rescue Congress(NRC), theme: Mandela’s Legacy: A Catalyst to Inspire National Rebirth, Tuesday in Abuja.

He described the event as an avenue to appreciate the life, legacy and the stewardship of the late president of South Africa, Comrade Dr. Nelson Mandela, whose life represent courage, tenacity, principle, foresight and leadership.

Speaking at the event, Sani posited that the mistake we made in 1999, was that, those of us who fought for democracy refused to participate in the transition program, creating a space where those who knew nothing about the struggle took control of political power and use it to serve themselves.

The former Senator representing Kaduna Central reminded that the nation’s hope, dreams and aspirations in 1999 has not been meet by the political class, after sixty three years of our political independent, with twenty four years of democracy rule.

“At this age of nationhood, issues that we supposed to have addressed in the last twenty four years are still becoming vital issues. Government after Government the nation keep wobbling from one political crisis to one economic crisis.”

Delivery his speech, NRC Coordinator, Barrister Emmanuel Ehim, stated that in these times of tumult and uncertainty, the NRC seeks to ignite a spirit of selfless service and democratic commitment, particularly among Nigerian youth, drawing lessons from Mandela’s life and other African revolutionaries.

“Through this initiative, we aims to bring a national renaissance, celebrating the courage and vision of African leaders who have shaped our continent’s destiny.

“As the world marks a significant milestone in remembering one of its most fantastic sons, Nelson Mandela, we are reminded of his legacy that transcends time and geography. As we conclude this momentous period of reflection and commemoration, it’s essential to recognize that our journey towards national re-birth is not just a series of events or remembrances but leveraging Mandela’s enduring legacy.

“This journey is a manifestation of our commitment to the principles Mandela valiantly fought for principles of justice, equality, and the indomitable spirit of nonviolent resistance. It’s a promise we make to future generations, a pledge to create a world that upholds the ideals Mandela dedicated his life to. It is a path that we, especially in Nigeria, must courageously tread upon nonviolent resistance, leading to democratic change and national rebirth.

“As we pay tribute to Mandela’s legacy, we embark on a journey of profound transformation. Let us renew our commitment to this noble journey. Let our efforts toward national rebirth be a fitting tribute to Mandela’s legacy, a legacy that continues to inspire and guide us. Let’s unite in our dedication to transform Nigeria into a nation that is a beacon of hope, not just for its citizens but for the entire world”

This journey is about more than just re-membering a great leader, it’s almost actively living the values he exemplified. It’s about working tirelessly to realize the dream of a Nigeria free from the shackles of inequality, injustice, and division, a Nigeria where peace, prosperity, and justice are not just ideals but realities for all its citizens, he concluded.
