A reputable chieftain of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, Peter Obi, has advocated the imperatives of Standing Up for Democracy in Nigeria.
Obi was of the view that the mass protest in Abuja on Wednesday was not just an effort to protect our democracy; it was also a moment of reflection on how far we have fallen as a nation. He, therefore, declared: "We must resist the suffocation of our democracy by those who once claimed to have sacrificed to defend it, but are now doing everything possible to undermine it and silence opposition".
Obi asserted that history will not be kind to those who traded the struggle for democracy for the comfort of power.
"We will not remain silent, we will not be intimidated, and we will not surrender the future of this nation.
"The will of the people must prevail—stronger, louder, and impossible to suppress," Obi stated.
Obi, in a statement, asserted:
"Today, I joined fellow Nigerians, leaders, and members of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) led by National Chairman Sen. David Mark to participate in a peaceful "Save Democracy" protest.
"This event was not just an effort to protect our democracy; it was also a moment of reflection on how far we have fallen as a nation. We must resist the suffocation of our democracy by those who once claimed to have sacrificed to defend it, but are now doing everything possible to undermine it and silence opposition.
"History will not be kind to those who traded the struggle for democracy for the comfort of power. We will not remain silent, we will not be intimidated, and we will not surrender the future of this nation. The will of the people must prevail—stronger, louder, and impossible to suppress.
