Politician and a former governor of Anambra State, Peter Obi has said described Nigeria’s democracy as “fast losing its essence” as a result of deep-necked poverty ravaging the country.


He disclosed this in a post on his X handle on Monday.


According to him, the number of Nigerians living in poverty is alarming, a situation which he said democracy was supposed to address.


He called on leaders to address poverty in the land by prioritising and strengthening independent institutions and delivering of economic progress to the people.


He argued that for democracy in Africa to thrive beyond its current fragile state, it must operate within its foundational tenets, going beyond ceremonial elections. This requires building critical institutions that command trust and deliver absolute respect for the people’s will.
