Leading opposition figures in the country, former Vice President Atiku Abubakar and the Labour Party presidential candidate in the 2023 election, Mr Peter Obi, have accused the administration of President Bola Tinubu of eroding the ideals of June 12.
They said the country could no longer be considered a functioning democracy under the present administration.
In separate Democracy Day statements on Thursday, both leaders painted a grim picture of Nigeria’s political and economic landscape, accusing the Federal Government of dismantling hard-won democratic gains, suppressing dissent, manipulating public perception, and governing with authoritarian intent.
