According to a post that was published on the official X account of Daily Post on Monday, the former President of Nigeria, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo has spoken about democracy in Nigeria.
The former President of Nigeria dropped his thoughts while speaking at the 60th birthday celebration of the former governor of Imo state, Emeka Ihedioha in Abuja.
Speaking at the gathering, the former President faulted democracy in Nigeria. He said the situation has gotten to a point whereby people grab power and tell others to go to court. Obasanjo said he doesn’t agree that democracy is failing, he said it is dying and the only way to rescue it is to look at it in the context and in the content of Africa.
According to Daily Post, Obasanjo said that;
“It is, I am because I can grab. What sort of democracy brings you and you grab everything and then illegally, corruptly and you say go to court. When you know that even in the court, you cannot get justice”.
