Democracy Day: Nigeria’s security agencies were destroyed by political class-Human rights advocate
Dr. Friday Sani is the Country Head, International Human Rights Commission Nigeria, and Coordinator, IHRC volunteers in West African countries.
However, my own opinion on this issue, is the most popular opinion, that there is nothing you can get better than the democratic theory of administration. A. You see, a journey of one thousand miles starts somewhere. I am convinced that in our lives, the righteous will have their way. The theory of democratic governance indeed has to do with bringing government close to the people; about bringing succour to their plight. Unfortunately, we have experienced what I can now describe as bad leadership.Today a lot of people are tempted to believe that the military regime may be an option.
I celebrate the gains of democracy under whatever guise with Nigerians today because the people are consulted before the leaders are elected, but under the military rule, it was by appointment. Similarly, the Nigeria Police Force which is supposed to be responsible for civility that you talked about has been politicised. It’s the Nigeria Police Force that is recognised by the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria to carry out civil orders. Everything we do in line with democracy goes round with the Police. This institution ought to be independent and not just that, but ought to be uncompromising for anything.
