The Civil Society Network for Good Governance (CSNGG), has deplored attempts by some individuals, using the apparatus of the ruling All Progressives Congress
“For a country to be qualified as a democratic nation, it must have a system that operates on a tripod: the Legislature, the Executive and the Judiciary. Interestingly, what makes a democratic system tick and confirms its legitimacy is the existence of an independent legislature, i.e., the National Assembly, comprising the Senate and the House of Representatives, in the case of Nigeria.
“As Nigeria progresses in leading other developing democracies of Africa, particularly in the West African sub-region on the path of democratic culture, it is key for political elites to ensure that the country makes a good example by upholding the tenets and principles of democratic governance.” He said the bold step among others was responsible for the victory APC recorded at the 2023 general election and it further deepened the culture of democracy in Nigeria’s party politics.
“CSNGG make bold to note that if the imposition had been allowed to stand, the APC might not have produced a generally acceptable presidential candidate in Bola Ahmed Tinubu, and in turns, the decision of a few persons opportune to walk in the corridors of power would have subdued the wish and aspirations of the over 200 million Nigerians including overwhelming supporters of the Tinubu-Shettima ticket.
