The Anambra State Governor, Professor Chukwuma Soludo yesterday described democracy all over the world as a continuous struggle toward a better country.
The governor, who spoke during a special Mass at the Governor’s Lodge to mark this year’s Nigeria’s democracy day observed that there is no place in the world where there is a perfect society.
While paying tribute to the late Chief Moshood Abiola and others who made sacrifices for the democracy being enjoyed in the country, the governor said nation-building was a consequence of the struggle for class, social or otherwise.
He further noted that by bonding together, Nigerians consistently struggled against the dictatorship during which many people even paid the ultimate price.

He explained that for the Anambra people, the struggle is to build a liveable and prosperous homeland, where everybody has a very fundamental role to play.
