Northern group raises alarm, says Nigeria’s democracy in danger

A group, Arewa Movement for Good Governance, has expressed worry over alleged rot in governance especially in the National Assembly, insisting that citizens now have a culpable National Assembly, a failing Nigeria state and a democracy in crisis.

Speaking at a press conference on Thursday in Kaduna, Usman Bugaje Convener, Arewa Movement for Good Governance AM2G, quoted Edward Snowden, saying “when exposing a crime is treated as committing a crime. You are being ruled by criminals”.

He said further: “The recent events in the National Assembly – the suspension of Senator Abdul Ningi, his resignation from the Northern Senators Forum, and the removal of Senator Kawu Sumaila from its PRO position expose a troubling trend. These developments raise serious concerns about a culpable National Assembly and a failing Nigerian state, leaving many to wonder: Whither Nigeria?
