The Aare Onakakanfo of Yorubaland, Gani Adams don yarn say Nigeria dey shift as a democratic nation and the rule of law don dey die just like when we dey under the military junta of Sani Abacha.
He dey yarn dis yearnings after the re-arrest of Omoyele Sowore, convener of the #RevolutionNow movement by the DSS last week Friday. Adams yarn say the arrest na national tragedy.
He yarn say:
“What happened at the court reminded me of the dark era of the military but, ironically, the present government under President Muhammadu Buhari is like the military junta of the late Sani Abacha in which the military brigandage held sway for years”.
“I have been watching events as they unfold, but I am saddened that the event that transpired in the court was a testimony that Nigeria has a long way to go.
“The Department of State Services (DSS) failed to respect the rule of law and it was a sad reminder of the military era,”
He say the prolong detention of Sowore don affect the image of Nigeria, because the world dey watch the government korokoro with thick interest.
“This is not the democracy we fought for between 1993 and 1998. I remember vividly as activists and pro-democracy groups, we put our lives on the line to ensure that our dreams for this democracy became a reality. Now, democracy is here, but we have lost touch with the ideals of a democratic setting as it is practised in other climes,” Na so he yarn..
