Progressives Congress (APC), Chief Bisi Akande, has said that Nigeria is
practicing a “military democracy” system of
government under the current President, Muhammadu Buhari.
Chief Akande said there was no way Nigeria would succeed or
develop if the country continues with such practice.
Addressing a news conference on Tuesday, in his country home, Ila, Osun State, Nigeria as part of
activities to mark his 79th birthday, Chief Akande said the multi-party
parliamentary democracy was the best form of government for Nigeria,
if it wanted to catch up with the rest of the civilised world.
The former Osun State Governor said
American democracy system of multi-party presidential system was too
complicated and costly for a Nigeria whose people
are poor and with a large illiteracy rate.
According to the Chief, “President Buhari is my friend and I want
him to succeed but he is running a difficult system of government.
“Nigeria’s democracy is a
military democracy of sharing and if we continue like this, there is
no how we can succeed.
“Up to this present age, evidence based analyses has proven parliamentary democracy to
be the most accountable transparent form of government in the whole world,’’ he
said.
“It is also transforming India from acute
poverty and hunger into self- sufficiency and reliability
virtually in all fields.
“Apart from being transparent and accountable,
parliamentary democracy is absolutely inclusive.
“It appears to be the best form
of governmental structure for Nigeria now.’’
