In his Democracy Day broadcast on Monday, President Bola Tinubu disagreed with retired General Ibrahim Babangida’s claim that democracy is “declining” in Nigeria because successive political leaders have neglected the true essence and beauty of credible elections.
In what appears to be an indirect response to IBB’s Democracy Day message to Nigerians, where the former Head of State blamed the political class for ‘voter apathy’ in elections because of electoral malpractices, Tinubu said “democracy is well and alive in our land”.
