There’s No Democracy In Nigeria, Peter Obi Explains Why
There’s no democracy in Nigeria, Peter Obi explain why and says “let’s stop telling ourselves lies”.
Peter Obi, presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP) in the 2023 elections. Peter Obi, the candidate of the Labour Party (LP) in the 2023 presidential election, says Nigeria is not a democratic country.
Speaking on Tuesday during his appearance on Prime Time, a programme on Arise TV, Obi claimed that the standards for measuring democracy do not exist in Nigeria.
“I have said it, and I maintain that there is no democracy in Nigeria today,” Obi said.
“Nigeria today is not a democratic country. Let’s stop telling ourselves lies. If you look at all the tenets and yardsticks measuring democracy, it doesn’t exist here.
“Democracy is the government of the people, by the people, and for the people. Today, the government we have is not of the people.
“It is not by the people because the people didn’t vote. It wasn’t their votes. I’m not just talking about the presidency; it’s across the line. Look at what happened in Edo. Can you call that democracy?
“It is not the vote of the people. And it is not for the people. I have just told you that I went to an IDP camp where we have thousands of people. No primary health care.
“They were begging me to have one nurse, which I said I must make sure they have. They don’t even have a primary school, which again I have told them I will make sure it happens.”
Obi criticised the government for prioritising the wrong issues and neglecting social capital development.
“So, what are you doing for a country that just spent N21 billion to renovate the house for the vice-president who isn’t living there? And you cannot even have a primary school for kids who are going to be leaders of Nigeria tomorrow,” he said.

Peter Obi Explains Why
In March, Obi faulted President Bola Tinubu for declaring a state of emergency in Rivers and suspending Siminalayi Fubara, governor of the state.
The former governor of Anambra said Nigeria’s democracy, which has been progressing since 1999, is now collapsing and being “knocked down” by Tinubu’s administration.

Natasha Makes U-Turn On Senate Ordeals, Reveals Why

Natasha Makes U-Turn On Senate Ordeals, Reveals Why
Natasha Akpoti makes U-turn on Senate ordeals, reveals why. I Was Removed Because of LNG Plants, Not S3xual Harrasment
Opinion: When you know you have no evidence and very soon you’ll be facing a judge in a N250 billion law suit without a single shred. Without one hair strand of evidence. (c)
Unfortunately It’s too late to say I am sorry!
– Natasha Akpoti Makes U-turn on Senate Ordeals
Natasha Akpoti has once again changed her narrative regarding her political challenges, now claiming that her removal was due to the LNG plants she allegedly facilitated in Kogi State, rather than the earlier allegations of s3xual harassment.
Speaking at her rally today, she accused Senate President Godswill Akpabio and former Kogi State Governor Yahaya Bello of conspiring to have her eliminated in Kogi.
This latest claim comes despite the Ministry of Petroleum denying her involvement in the facilitation of any LNG projects, which the ministry claimed was cited due to existing plants and pipeline projects in Ajaokuta.
Her statements have been met with widespread skepticism, particularly on Facebook, where many users criticized her for inconsistencies and probable emotional blackmails in her story.

Natasha Makes U-Turn
Previously, Natasha had alleged that she was targeted over s3xual harassment concerns against the Senate president, Godswill Akpabio, a claim that fueled public sympathy.
However, her sudden shift in position has led to accusations of political blackmail against the Senate leadership and the Kogi State government.
Her speech today has reignited debates over her credibility, with critics pointing to a pattern of shifting narratives depending on public sentiment.
Many observers believe that Natasha’s allegations are aimed at gaining sympathy ahead of upcoming political battles.
