The Human and Environmental Development Agenda (HEDA) has issued a call to all political participants in Nigeria to prioritize democratic values as they prepare for the 2027 general elections. HEDA emphasized the importance of honoring the sacrifices made during the June 12 pro-democracy movement. The organization urged political parties, candidates, and their supporters to ensure the upcoming elections reflect the principles fought for during that period. This includes upholding free and fair processes and respecting the will of the people. HEDA believes referencing the June 12 struggle is crucial for maintaining the integrity of Nigeria’s democratic process. The group’s statement serves as a reminder of the historical fight for democracy in the country and its continuing relevance. They aim to prevent a repeat of past electoral issues and promote a truly representative government.
