Femi Adesina, special adviser to the president on media and publicity, says the Muhammadu Buhari administration is determined to leave behind stronger democratic institutions and culture.
Adesina said the presidency will continue to support anything that strengthens the country’s democracy.
The presidential aide spoke on Thursday while receiving an award from the Progressive Councilors Forum (PCF), an association of past and present councillors at the statehouse, Abuja.
Adesina said the Buhari-led administration is focused on delivering gains of democracy to every citizen of the country.
“We will continue to support anything that will strengthen democracy. We will continue to be part of anything that will ensure progress for the work of the president,” he said.
On his part, Sunday Achor, chairman of the forum, said Adesina was awarded for being a “warrior of truth and tangible development”.
He said the forum would always support the work of the government.
“We are the closest elected officials to the people. We are custodians of the people. Our association consists of both serving and past councillors,” Achor said.
“Our coming here is a child of necessity putting into consideration your antecedents.
“We see you as a warrior of truth and tangible development and have decided to give you this award as an encouragement.
“We will partner with you to translate information into languages that the ordinary people will understand.”
