Nigeria marks 48th National Day

THE Nigerian High Commissioner in Accra, Mr Mohammed Musiliu Obankore, has urged Ghanaians not to compromise their democracy but maintain the peace, stability and tranquility existing in the country as an inspiration for all the countries within the sub-region.
He said the peaceful atmosphere in Ghana was a model that other countries including Nigeria could emulate and encouraged Ghanaians to ensure that their democracy was not compromised.
Mr Obankore gave this advice after a ceremony to mark the 48th Anniversary of the Federal Republic of Nigeria which falls on October 1, in Accra yesterday.
He said the stability of the country’s democracy should be maintained as most of the countries in the sub-region were looking up to Ghana as a beacon of hope in ensuring unity on the continent.
The High Commissioner said Nigeria’s democracy, regardless of the past military interventions was growing but there was the need to sustain it for it to be firmly rooted in their way of life.
