'How Nigeria is gradually becoming a lawless nation' - Peter Obi shares details

The flagbearer of the Labour Party (LP) in the 2023 presidential elections, Peter Obi, hinted that Nigeria will soon turn into a lawless country.

According to Obi, Nigeria is “gradually losing one of the biggest intangible assets that make a nation strong, which is respect for the rule of law”.

In a statement he posted on his X page (formerly known as Twitter) in celebration of International Democracy Day on Friday, Obi said “Our dear nation has continued to swing dangerously away from the boundaries of true democracy”.

On Friday, September 15, Obi said that Nigerians must “remind ourselves of the need to work together to build and deepen our nation’s democracy”.

“As witnessed in the country today, the mindless erosion of the very ideals and tenets on which Nigeria’s democracy was built, if not checked, will only push the nation deeper into lawlessness,” he wrote.

Prophet David Kingleo Elijah, the spiritual leader of the Glorious Mount of Possibility Church, has said the Supreme Court will dismiss the suits that would be filed by the opposition against President Tinubu.
