Former Governor of Ekiti State, Kayode Fayemi ; Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike and former President, Olusegun Obasanjo at Port Harcourt International Conference 2023 …yesterday.
Obasanjo, who was the keynote speaker at the conference, in his address titled: “Respecting the Principles of Democracy,” said it was not enough to keep recycling activities and debates around liberal democracy, and called on Nigerians to move from democracy to democratisation “Without retracing our political steps to the right direction, the current process will either not produce the right leader or it will leave so many broken blocks from the path of governance and attract resources and energy away from the task of rebuilding Nigeria and consolidating our democratic practice.
He added that a failure may increase political polarisation, exacerbate social fault lines and set democracy backwards; and that when government compromises the integrity of elections through election management agencies, it denies citizens their constitutional right to elect the leaders they want and can hold them accountable.
