Presidential Aide, Onanuga, Warns Peter Obi Over Democracy Comment | Daily Report Nigeria
SHARE
  • Former Anambra State Governor, Peter Obi, has claimed that democracy in Nigeria has collapsed.

  • Obi made the statement at a colloquium in Abuja, citing the erosion of progress made since Nigeria’s return to civilian rule in 1999.

  • Presidential aide, Bayo Onanuga, has reacted to Obi’s statement, dismissing it as exaggerated and lacking in logical foundation.

A presidential aide, Bayo Onanuga, has cautioned former Anambra State Governor, Peter Obi, to be mindful of his statements after the former governor claimed that democracy in Nigeria had collapsed.

Obi made the statement at the 60th birthday colloquium for former Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Emeka Ihedioha, in Abuja on Monday.

According to Obi, “If you looked at where we are today, it’s like, they (the PDP) started in 1999, laid the foundation. Some people came and took it to decking, and some people were trying to take it to the first floor, when some people came and knocked everything down.”

Reacting to Obi’s statement, Onanuga dismissed it as exaggerated and lacking in logical foundation. He wrote on X (formerly Twitter), “I listened multiple times to former Governor Peter Obi’s statement in this clip, where he claims that democracy has collapsed in Nigeria. His hyperbolic remarks, suited for headlines, have been made without deep reflection and lack a solid logical foundation.”

Onanuga argued that if democracy had indeed collapsed, Obi would not have been able to express his views so freely at the colloquium.

He stated, “Only a discontented and disgruntled Peter, who benefits from the very free speech democracy provides, could perceive such a democratic downfall through his lens.”
