Peter Obi, the Labour Party’s presidential candidate in the 2023 elections, has expressed concerns about the current state of Nigeria’s democracy.

In a recent statement, Obi highlighted issues he believes are undermining democratic principles in the country. His remarks have sparked reactions from various political figures and commentators.

A presidential aide, Bayo Onanuga, cautioned Obi to be mindful of his statements regarding democracy, suggesting that such comments could have unintended consequences.

In related developments, Obi has criticized President Bola Tinubu for allegedly removing certain officials unilaterally, describing the action as harmful to democratic processes. This critique underscores Obi’s ongoing advocacy for transparency and accountability within Nigeria’s political landscape.

As discussions about the nation’s democratic health continue, Obi’s perspectives contribute to the broader dialogue on how to strengthen and uphold democratic institutions in Nigeria.
