Obasanjo who spoke in Abeokuta at a high-level consultation he organised on ‘Rethinking Western Liberal Democracy in Africa,’ said party leaders had told him that there should be money allocated for the police and INEC, but he rejected the proposal on the belief that INEC officials and policemen are government workers earning salaries monthly.
The former president noted at the debate that he is not always comfortable with the phrase, ‘Nigerian factor’, when discussing democracy and other issues affecting development.
