A chieftain of the Peoples’ Democratic Party, Dele Momodu, has appealed to President Bola Tinubu to ensure the practicality of democratic principles in Nigeria and not kill democracy.
This is as Momodu, during a television interview today expressed disappointment at the suspension of Governor Siminalayi Fubara and assembly members in Rivers State by the President.
Momodu cautioned that Nigeria is currently descending into dictatorship under Tinubu, accusing him of attempting to intimidate governors and opposition leaders to get their support for his re-election bid in 2027.
He asked the President to further deepen the democracy, which he said Obasanjo succeeded in doing, despite allegations and accusations of a third term attempt, still managed to hand over power to President Yar’Adua.
