Ovation boss Dele Momodu has lamented the current state of democracy in Nigeria, saying the country is back to civilian dictators.
Momodu, who made the comment during an appearance on Channels Television’s ‘The Morning Brief’ on Wednesday, said the nation’s democracy has been damaged.
According to the PDP Chieftain, those in power do not care how citizens feel or think.
“I’m very happy that today coincides with the lead-up to June 12 (Democracy Day), so that if we still have any iota of conscience left, we’ll realise we have damaged this democracy,” he said.
“The summary of it all is that on the eve of June 12, Nigeria is virtually back to civilian dictators who don’t care how you feel or what you think. Nigerians are hungry.
“We’ve damaged this democracy, and I hope we’ve not damaged it beyond repair because the audacity, the effrontery of this set of politicians, whether in the executive, legislature, or local government, is totally unbelievable.
“All those who suffered for this democracy—especially those who are now in heaven—if they can see us, they would be crying,” Momodu stated.
