Nigeria Not In Democracy Yet – Tinubu by jcodez(m): 8:48am On Jun 19, 2017


National Leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, has said Nigeria is not yet a “full-blown” democracy.

The former Governor of Lagos stated this over the weekend, when he received the National Icon of Democracy award at the Tell Awards for Excellence.

The event was held at the Civic Centre in Victoria Island.

Tinubu, who was represented by former Lagos Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Dele Alake, said: “This civilian dispensation that we have – we don’t call it full blown democracy.

“What we have today is a civilian dispensation. So, our democracy is a work in progress, and we believe by the grace of God that we’ll achieve full blown democracy in our time.

“So, every one of us must work towards full blown democracy in Nigeria. We all know the tenets and principles of full blown democracy. And we hope we shall achieve them in our own time in Nigeria.”

At least we had a semblance of democracy from the time of Yar'Adua till Jonathan.
Court orders were obeyed,human right abuses were few.
But U chose to align with your islamist brothers up north to take Nigeria back to d era that can only be likened to a brutal military dictatorship.
Soldiers murdering unarmed protesters is now a daily occurrence.Buhari and his goons choose which court orders to obey.
No more press freedom.Opposition figures are being silenced in d name of fight against corruption.
We're back to d era of do or die elections.
