Nigeria’s Democracy Rickety, Adulterated, Say Falana, Akinfeleye by Omooba77(op): 10:42am On Jun 13, 2016
Lagos lawyer, Femi Falana, SAN, Prof Ralph
Akinfeleye of University of Lagos, among
other prominent personalities, yesterday,
called for a democratic restructuring of the
polity for the country to move forward.
They spoke at the public lecture organized
by Nigeria Union of Journalists, NUJ, Lagos
State Council, to mark the 23rd anniversary
of the annulment of June 12, presidential
election.
Falana, who was the guest speaker at the
event, described the present democratic
dispensation as “rickety”, even as he faulted
the appointment of sole administrators by
Governor Akinwunmi Ambode for the 57
councils in the state.
According to him, “We have been having
series of restructuring in Nigeria since 1999
and all we have been having are rickety
democracy.
“Restructuring of Nigeria should be decided
by Nigerians and not by charlatans. And
there can not be restructuring without
democratization and the Federal
Government from Abuja should shelve
power to the states for even development
to take place.”
Akinfeleye, who spoke in the same vein with
Falana, described Nigeria’s democracy as
adulterated.
He therefore, charged the judiciary and
Nigeria media to take up the gauntlet in
restoring Nigeria from the brink of total
collapse.

Why is everybody shouting restructuring now;the truth about us is that many of our elders always decide to lie just to fill their pockets. Restructuring is the only way out....God bless Nigeria.

First they should admit they mess up going against GEJ. Why did they not see he was working towards what your asking by shaking the likes of OBJ and Tinubu in the first year of his office. To build a democracy it takes empowering the masses.

He worked on those refineries and they were nearly ready before he was pushed out. He pushed education in the North so the youth could teach the elders about resolution, not rioting, raiding and raping. To bad you want to talk this with a deaf and dum administration.
