Ayodele Fayose, former governor of Ekiti, says Nigerians are
mourning over “lack of democracy” under President Muhammadu Buhari.
In a statement which Lere Olayinka, his spokesman, issued on
his behalf on Friday, the ex-governor alleged that Nigeria has nothing to
celebrate in terms of democratic governance and practices.
Fayose accused the All Progressives Congress (APC) of
destroying the tenets of democracy, saying the “legacy of free, fair and
transparent elections bequeathed to Nigeria by the PDP government has been
destroyed, with elections in the country now being held at gun point.”
“Democracy will return to Nigeria again after President Buhari’s
tenure,” the statement read.
“Today, there is no
democracy to celebrate and I have not stopped wondering how we got here in
Nigeria. I am sure Nigerians will still recall that I warned them in 2015.
“The people mourn when the wicked are in authority while
they rejoice when the righteous are in leadership. Today, Nigerians are
mourning.
“Nevertheless, we must all keep hope alive because after
darkness, there will definitely be light.”
Meanwhile, during a nationwide broadcast in commemoration of
this year’s Democracy Day, Buhari had given an account of his achievements in
some sectors.
Buhari said his administration has recorded “notable
achievements” some setbacks, and set timelines for more deliverable.
He identified some of his achievements to include the
completion of 412 kilometers Sukuk- funded roads, economic diversification
through agriculture, effective recovery of looted funds, among others.
