Former PDP Chairman Uche Secondus has made some serious claims about Nigeria’s democracy under the ruling APC, stating that it’s “dead and buried”.
He specifically pointed to the Edo State election as a sham that ensured APC’s win at all costs. Secondus warns that APC’s actions are pushing Nigeria towards a one-party state, threatening democracy.
This isn’t the first time concerns about Nigeria’s democracy have been raised. There are fears that the country may not have a stable transition in 2027 ¹. The issue of democracy and its implications on Nigeria’s future is a pressing concern.
Key Concerns:
• One-party state: APC’s dominance may lead to a lack of opposition, undermining democratic principles
• Electoral integrity: The legitimacy of elections, like the Edo State election, has been questioned
• Democratic institutions: The ability of institutions to uphold democratic values is being eroded
