Governor Uzodinma acknowledged the fact that democracy might not have solved all the challenges facing the country, but noted that a lot of milestones have been achieved since the return of democratic dispensation in 1999.
He expressed satisfaction that in Imo State, for instance, a lot of progress had been recorded under democratic rule, especially since January 2020.
The governor therefore called on Imo citizens and residents to rededicate themselves to the efforts to strengthen and sustain democracy irrespective of imperfections inherent in the system.
He assured that the freedom of choice, assembly and association embedded in democracy would always place this system of government above any other.
