The Director, Abuja School of Social and Political Thought, Sam Amadi, says in 2027, Nigeria will have a democracy that would be worse than it is at the moment
Amadi made this statement on Tuesday during an interview on ‘Prime Time’, a programme on Arise Television.
He was speaking on the nature of democracy that is being practiced in Nigeria.
According to him, political parties have no internal democracy, noting that the judiciary is a hopeless case and that the Electoral Act tried to exclude judicial review.
“In 2027, we are going to have worse democracy than it currently is. The key point is that the Nigerian party system doesn’t have internal democracy, and the reason for that is also structural and normative.
“If you look back and see the judiciary, you know, it’s like a hopeless case. The Electoral Acts try to exclude judicial review. Even when judicial review is on, it’s neither here nor there,” he lamented.
