Former governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose says Nigerians are in mourning over lack of democracy under President Muhammadu Buhari.
In a statement which Lere Olayinka, his spokesman, issued on his behalf on Friday, the ex-governor said that Nigeria has nothing to celebrate in terms of democratic governance and practices.
Fayose accused the All Progressives Congress (APC) of destroying the tenets of democracy, saying the legacy of free, fair and transparent elections bequeathed to Nigeria by the PDP government has been destroyed, with elections in the country now being held at gun point.
“Democracy will return to Nigeria again after President Buhari’s tenure. Today, there is no democracy to celebrate and I have not stopped wondering how we got here in Nigeria. I am sure Nigerians will still recall that I warned them in 2015.
“The people mourn when the wicked are in authority while they rejoice when the righteous are in leadership. Today, Nigerians are mourning. Nevertheless, we must all keep hope alive because after darkness, there will definitely be light.”
