A senior government official has advised a former governor to be cautious about his remarks after the ex-governor expressed concerns about the state of democracy in the country. The former governor made these comments during an event in Abuja, suggesting that the progress made since Nigeria’s return to civilian rule in 1999 had regressed. In response, the government official criticized the ex-governor’s statements as exaggerated and lacking in logical reasoning. The official argued that democracy in Nigeria has actually strengthened over the past 26 years. Furthermore, the official pointed out that the ex-governor’s ability to freely express his views at the event was evidence that democracy in the country is still intact. The government official cautioned the former governor against making misleading statements and encouraged him to be more prudent with his words.
