Highlighting the current challenges facing Nigeria, Obi expressed deep concern over pervasive systemic corruption, escalating insecurity, rising poverty rates, and widespread hardship. He underscored the urgent necessity for citizens to safeguard democracy against any form of sabotage.
Reflecting on Nigeria’s democratic journey over the past 25 years, Obi lamented the decline from initial strides towards democracy in 1999 to what he termed as a state captured by vested interests. He critiqued the prevalent lack of accountability and the marginalization of citizens’ rights, asserting that true democracy must prioritize the welfare and rights of all Nigerians, particularly the vulnerable.
Obi further cited international rankings that depict Nigeria’s democratic deficiencies, including low scores on global democracy indices, a high corruption perception index ranking, and poor rule of law indicators. He also highlighted Nigeria’s challenging environment for journalists, emphasizing the need for greater press freedom and protection of human rights.
In conclusion, Peter Obi urged Nigerians to commemorate June 12 as a pivotal moment to reaffirm their commitment to genuine democracy. He called upon all citizens to uphold democratic principles, respect government institutions, abide by the rule of law, and collectively strive towards building a new Nigeria founded on the pillars of true democracy and accountable governance.
As Nigeria navigates its democratic path, Obi’s message resonates as a call to action for national unity and democratic renewal.
