No Govt. Has Done More For Democracy, Freedom Of Speech Than Buhari Administration – Presidency
The Presidency on Tuesday said no other government has done more for democracy and freedom of speech than the Muhammadu Buhari administration.
“Nigeria recognises Democracy Day because for many decades since independence, the fight for the right for Nigerians to choose their own government in their own name was not complete,” the statement read in part. “A prominent citizen of the country, Chief MKO Abiola died trying to do just this. It then amounts to a grave mistake, for this group of otherwise promising northern stars to dissociate themselves from Democracy Day and, in effect de-cognizing democracy as a chosen system of government.
For the challenges Nigeria faces today, lack of universal suffrage or lack of elected politicians is not one of them. For a start, if the group dared to issue such a comment under non-democratic method they would have met a swift and harsh retribution from a dictatorial government. They should thank their stars that we are operating a truly democratic government where the rights of free speech are guaranteed and protected.
