Nigeria’s former president, Olusegun Obasanjo, while speaking yesterday after the accreditation for the governorship and state House of Assembly elections at his polling unit at Abeokuta South LGA said the democratic process in Nigeria is fast maturing.
“Nigerians can now raise their heads in honour anywhere because there are evidences that our democracy is fast maturing.”
The Former President further said that the low turn out at the Governorship and state House of Assembly elections is not unusual and should be expected, because people normally show more interest in national elections than the state elections.
“Reports getting to me indicate a general low turnout across the nation; however, the exercise has been orderly and peaceful.
“The low turnout is not unusual and should be expected,
because people normally show more interest in national elections than
the state elections.
“I, however, commend INEC for
improving on their last performance because many people who did not have
PVCs in this area have now gotten their cards.
“There were apprehensions concerning the polls because of some people beating drums of war; but we thank God for taking control.”
“We have done it for West Africa; we have done it for Africa and we have now done it for ourselves.
