The group said the Abuja leg of the walk would be led by the president, accompanied by his vice, Kashim Shettima. The National Democracy Solidarity Walk would take place concurrently across 36 states and Abuja on the day.
NDSG chairman, Kletsaint Akor, in a statement on Tuesday, said as the cornerstone event of Nigeria’s Democracy Week, the 5th National Democracy Solidarity Walk holds special significance.
The statement said: “This symbolic walk will bring together citizens from all walks of life to celebrate the spirit of democracy and reflect on its enduring importance.”
“The week-long celebration built around the June 12th annual democracy day will feature a diverse array of activities aimed at fostering dialogue, promoting civic engagement, and advancing democratic ideals and culture.”
