The Founder of the Face of Democracy Nigeria (FDN) Project, Mr. Alexandra Olufunsho, while presenting the award for the Democracy Heroes category said Malami beat 19 other ministers to emerge the best, Vanguard reports.

“20 ministers were nominated and our selection committee, after due diligence pruned the nominees to four which the general public voted for and the Minister of Justice came first.

“ We did our findings and discovered that we are honouring the right man who has been proactive in the unity of this country by bringing in policies that will deliver dividends of democracy”, he said.

Olufunsho explained that the Democracy Heroes Award was launched about six years ago to recognise, honour and celebrate men and women ‘who have contributed to the development of our nation’.
