The Presidency has fired back at former President Olusegun Obasanjo, attributing Nigeria's current democratic state to his decisions during his military and civilian leadership.
Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, accused Obasanjo of implementing the American-style democracy instead of the parliamentary system the British left. Responding to Obasanjo's critique of Western liberal democracy, the Presidency argued that he should advocate for a return to the parliamentary system if he genuinely believes in his current views.
This clash reveals deep-seated tensions over Nigeria's democratic evolution and governance structure.
