Nigeria Swinging Dangerously Away From True Democracy, Obi Releases New Message by Newton2024: 3:35pm On Sep 16, 2023
The Presidential candidate of the Labour Party, LP in the February 25, 2023 election, Peter Obi, has said transactional politics, disrespect for the rule of law, endemic corruption in the executive, legislature and the Judiciary are pulling Nigeria dangerously away from democracy.

Obi stated this in a series of posts on his X account (formerly Twitter) as Nigeria joined other countries of the world to mark the 2023 edition of the International Democracy Day celebration, on Friday.

The LP candidate has since announced his decision to contest the Judgment of the Presidential Election Petition Court which upheld the declaration by the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC that President Bola Tinubu, of the All Progressives Congress won the February 25, election.

Obi wrote, “On this year’s celebration of International Democracy Day, we must remind ourselves of the need to work together to build and deepen our nation’s democracy.

“As witnessed in the country today, the mindless erosion of the very ideals and tenets on which Nigeria’s democracy was built, if not checked, will only push the nation deeper into lawlessness.

“The current trend of endemic corruption, abuse of the constitution, disrespect for the rule of law, and transactional politics which cuts across the executive, legislative and judicial arms of government, have continued to conflict with our nation’s enforcement of democracy.


“Consequently, our dear nation has continued to swing dangerously away from the boundaries of true democracy. Gradually, we are losing one of the biggest intangible assets that make a nation strong, which is respect for the rule of law.


“I call on all Nigerians to remain committed to building and reinforcing our nation’s democracy. Once again, I restate my commitment to a new and truly democratic Nigeria. I am in this struggle solely for the betterment of our society.

“My vision of a new and truly democratic Nigeria is borne out of the deep conviction that Nigeria if given good leadership as I offer to give, will be beneficial to every Nigerian. We must not give up on our nation because a new and truly democratic Nigeria is possible.”

Of course there is nothing democratic about what this nation is today with the criminal capture of state by a man whose regime parades the most despicable criminals ever seen in government.

The government under whose watch, the nation's constitution is being spurned and trampled with impunity. Chronic institutional corruption via embezzlement of borrowed funds. Continuing the disastrous policies of its predecessor thereby mortgaging the nation into further indebtedness.

A government that have long made lies & propaganda official policies of governance even with many policy somersaults. No participatory democracy but outright muscling out of opposition.

Obi you’re talking ..

but you know your ego and that of that old general place Nigerians and Nigeria on the part.

Nigerians would have avoided this .. if you were humble enough..
There would have always be a “ time “ …

Ow going to court and being in government.. which one pays better .. and honestly don’t think you’re challenging something .. Walahi .. you’re not .. you only succeeded in tighting the noose .. .. forget media noise .. this is Nigeria Africa ..

Let hope Atiku succeed ..

Nigeria will never get better .. that’s the holy truth.. because no Nigerian is committed to Nigeria

.. is all about interest.

I call on all Nigerians to unite our efforts in the journey of taking back our nation from the cold hands of corruption, insecurity and unproductivity. 2023 is a very critical year that will determine the next direction of our nation.

This nation cannot continue in its all round retrogressive movement in the coming years, as that will result in its total collapse. 2023 is an existential year in the history of our nation. It is a year we all must unite against the continued abuse of our nation's democracy and economy.


The power is in our hands to take back our nation, this year, and make it work. I call on Nigerians to support me in saving our nation. My commitment is securing the country, unifying the nation and moving it from consumption to production.

I call on Nigerians to hold me accountable to my promises for a better nation, when I am elected. I have made a pact with Nigerians and I will not leave any of my promises unfulfilled. Nigerians can hold me accountable by my words of promise.

I wish Nigerians a very productive 2023 and urge everyone to remain law abiding, while contributing to the growth and development of the nation. -PO

Only in Nigeria will a whole tribe complain about a criminal as governor but suddenly declare him a saint when he contest to be the president.

The Igbo tried to rule Nigeria by force, what they cannot do through the ballot box; they tried it through coup. They tried the coup, it failed and now decided to do a civil war. It was a contract. That is the basic thing.

Coming from the man who didn't conduct any local government elections throughout his stay as the governor of Anambra.
Obi is dangerously dishonest. By the way, we need to see his academic records.
