Governor of Sokoto state, Aminu Waziri Tambuwal, has called on Nigerians to reject what he describes as “prison-yard democracy, typified by the ignoble meddlesomeness, rascality and high-handedness of some security agencies against democratic institutions” in Nigeria in recent times.

According to the governor, “Nigerians must, in strong terms, say no to prison-yard democracy, where the rights of the citizenry are shackled to the caprices of a few, as if we now run a nation of helpless inmates.

“If the people of Nigeria are so unfortunate to endure the growling nightmare occasioned by deprivation of most things that a democracy should ordinarily provide. If they are now accustomed to the pangs of hunger, unemployment, shabby infrastructure, poor healthcare and general hopelessness, they should, in the interest of democracy and the youths, stand against anything that has the potential of robbing them of their inalienable rights to live and make choices as free citizens.”

Expressing his dismay In a statement released in Abuja, on Tuesday July 31, the former Speaker of the House of Representatives, condemned the recent happenings in Benue state and Abuja, where security agencies reportedly meddled in the affairs of both the Benue state and national legislatures, by trying to prevent some lawmakers from accessing their legislative chambers and also impeding the movement of the Senate President and his Deputy last week.

The governor said further: “These are unfortunate incidents, an aberration, a reprehensible attack on the fundamental human rights and privileges of fellow Nigerians and a direct attack on our fledgling democracy. We should condemn this crass and impudent exhibition of uncivilized conduct, so that we can keep peace and maintain a civilized society.

“Democracy is about freedom, of choice and association. It is about the people and the supremacy of the will of the people. Democracy, loses its essential value when the overall interest of the people takes a back seat in any supposedly democratic setting”, the governor said.
He adds that legitimate political choices and movements, including cross-carpeting, are part of a democratic enterprise, saying: “Any attempt to bully people out of their legitimate, democratic choices is a war against democracy, the rights of the citizenry, that power this unique people-oriented system of governance.”

Tambuwal said: “I also call on our leaders at all levels, to guard their utterances, in order not to drive our nation further down the path of divisiveness and ethnic/religious mistrust. Let us water our democracy, using the fountains of equity, fairness and justice for all.”

Please Decamp Fast


Stop Talking

Not just prison yard democracy but Daura style democracy. It has no place in Nigeria.

Nigerians now know what they enjoyed when a democratic man like GEJ was ruling


unfortunately the ever active human right, protest, everything just died like that, nobody is taking again because it's when you have another to eat you get strength to talk


During GEJ era we get enough to eat that why we talked to him without respect. Now everyone is focused more on providing for his/her family than fighting for human right







God bless Good Luck Ebele Jonathan
Cod bless Nigeria

APC enjoyed freedom of speech and of association during the Jonathan government but have now turn to vampires because others are expressing their freedom of association.

Shut up!

I Guess Buhari was the President in 2013?

APC is nothing but a party of broom wielding demons and bloodthirsty power drunk charlatans ruled by an ancient despotic bigot, shielded by Fulani herdsmen terrorists and secured by the Nigerian armed forces.

The frustrated broom wielding Zombie above me is a total description of the above.

I deal with facts and not one beer parlour induced gossips.
You are talking of Jonathan planning meanwhile under the tyrant buhari policemen were used to barricade the Benue house of assembly, allowed eight out of thirty lawmakers into the chamber and supervised a civilian coup on a sitting governor in a manner that is unheard of in history.

You should be ashamed of yourself for defending tyranny even when your paymasters have come out to condemn the act out of shame because they failed in their bid to rape democracy.

History will always judge you while you and your likes will continue to be put in shame.

Let's save our democracy..

Back to daura..

Buhari is practicing Prison Yard /grave used democracy

Under who's rule was 16 greater than 19?

Under who's rule that chief judge of Nasarawa saved Al Makura from impeachment even when federal government led by Goodluck Jonathan and PDP led a siege with security agencies in house of assembly?

Under who's rule was this useless Tambuwal that is talking was teargas and his securities were all withdrawn?

Under who's rule was national assembly locked preventing rep members from going in to pave way for Tambuwal impeachment because he defected to APC?

Under who's rule was Amaechi plane grounded by Stella Oduah as aviation minister and Jonathan at Akure airport?

Under who's rule was Amaechi and Oshiomhole prevented from entering Ekiti state in 2014?

Under who's rule prevented APC governors of landing at Borno airport because the airport was closed but was opened for Amodu Sherrif to land the next day because he was a PDP member?

Under who's rule was APC prevented from using Makurdi township stadium for presidential rally in 2015?

The impunity list is endless under PDP.
