There is no democracy in Nigeria, only civilian govt – Idongesit Nkanang

PANDEF. In a chat with Lovina Anthony, our correspondent in Uyo, Nkanang gave an insight on how Nigeria had fared in its 21 years of unbroken democracy. He gives reasons why there is the need for restructuring. He speaks on marginalisation in the Niger Delta and the urgency with regard to signing the electoral bill into law.My rating is that Nigerians are ready for democracy.

On the president’s speech, I had expected to hear some landmark achievements like signing of the electoral law to see how it can help the nation, but I never saw such. That is to show you that the leaders are not ready for democracy. They are living in denial. They know what the truth is, but simply don’t want to do it. They enjoy the skewed system which help them to amass power and do things the way they want to do, but I tell you that these things are not enduring, at some points, they will give way.

Let us be very honest and very clear here, no constitution has been written by soldiers either, bring out any of the constitution and tell me the people who sat down and wrote them.The way Nigeria has found itself, the honest thing to do is to say you are guilty. I am guilty, we are guilty and from there, we mend our ways. I tell you when Nigeria got her independence, the founding fathers knew what was good for the country.
