Vice President Kashim Shettima has assured Nigerians of the commitment of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, administration to fight corruption, fix the economy, improve national cohesion and strengthen the independence of the judiciary.
Shettima gave this assurance at the national conference on strengthening democracy in Nigeria on Monday in Abuja.
The conference themed, ‘Strengthening Nigeria’s democracy: Pathways to good governance and political integrity’,was organised by the African Centre for Leadership, Strategy and Development.
Shettima, who was represented by his Special Adviser on political issues, Hakeem Baba-Ahmed, admitted that while democracy is not a perfect system, compared to others, it is the best form of government.
“We will listen and adjust where necessary, and we will account for our stewardship in all matters our challenging democratic systems demand.
“I am convinced that Nigeria shall rise again, answer to its full potential and lead the way to a future that has learnt lessons from a difficult past into a world in which our country will be a key player, and our young will be active champions of a democratic system because it speaks to them
