A chieftain of the New Nigeria Peoples Party, NNPP, Ambassador Olufemi Ajadi Oguntoyinbo said that Nigerians are experiencing hardship instead of dividends of democracy. Oguntoyinbo lamented that after 25 years of continuous civilian rule, Nigeria is yet to imbibe the true spirit of democracy.

The NNPP chieftain used the opportunity to appeal to political leaders to play the game according to the rule. He maintained that this will help to ensure that every individual irrespective of tribe, religion or political affiliations enjoys the dividends of democracy. Oguntoyinbo made these declarations in a statement to mark the country's Democracy Day on Wednesday. The NNPP chieftain while speaking, said Nigerians have been suffering since we started the current democratic dispensation.

Rather than people deciding who to govern as it is obtained in true democracy, Five or Seven judges of the Supreme Court or Appeal Courts have been the ones deciding the winners of our elections. 'In a true democracy, there should be independence of three arms of government, but here in Nigeria, both Legislature and Judiciary are under the control of the Executive.
