In his words, Peter Obe said,

6
00:00:20,519 –> 00:00:24,679
I was sadden to learn of President
Synoble’s unfortunate for today. I wish him

7
00:00:24,719 –> 00:00:28,239
well. We achieved nothing by blotting
about an accident that could well happen to

8
00:00:28,280 –> 00:00:32,280
any of us. We are all
human beings. End while we profoundly disagree

9
00:00:32,280 –> 00:00:35,759
on how to move Nigeria forward,
we must remember our common human frailty.

10
00:00:36,320 –> 00:00:40,079
Let us stay focused on the issues
that will lead to a Nigeria made this

11
00:00:40,240 –> 00:00:43,799

our shelled humanity and the need for compassion,

12
00:00:44,039 –> 00:00:47,640
empathy and unity in our pursuits of
a brighter future for our great nation.

of both national heroes and the masses
or The said democracy was beyond elections but

27
00:01:42,599 –> 00:01:48,239
fulfilling the responsibilities of responsible governance.
As content in the Constitution, according to

on the initial marks. Democracy Day
today, commemorating twenty five years of striving

30
00:01:56,400 –> 00:02:00,120
to be a democratic country. The
fundamental question for all of us remains we

31
00:02:00,159 –> 00:02:04,239
truly democratic as we build and in
Nigeria, these tenets shall be the pillars

32
00:02:04,280 –> 00:02:07,080
of our true democracy. It is
possible to further illustrate that we are not

33
00:02:07,159 –> 00:02:12,080
truly democratic and have only produced the
vices emigrated above. We are now ranked

34
00:02:12,120 –> 00:02:15,159
as follows. In the measurement of
democracy. We have a Democracy Index score

35
00:02:15,199 –> 00:02:19,680
of four point two three, which
runs us law on the Global Democracy Index.

36
00:02:20,120 –> 00:02:23,719
In the Corruption Perception Index, we
are round one hundred and forty fifth

37
00:02:23,719 –> 00:02:27,280
among the one hundred and eighty countries
measured, showing a higher level of corruption

38
00:02:27,360 –> 00:02:30,960
in Nigeria. In the Role of
Law measurement, we are round one hundred

39
00:02:30,000 –> 00:02:34,039
and twenty yeth out of one hundred
and forty two countries. Men in the

Without Borders RSF describes Nigeria as one of

43
00:02:46,560 –> 00:02:51,479
West Africa’s most dangerous and difficult countries
for journalists. Nigeria runs one hundred and

44
00:02:51,520 –> 00:02:54,639
twelve out of one hundred and eighty
countries where journalists are regularly monitored, attacked

45
00:02:54,800 –> 00:02:59,840
and arbitrarily arrested. We are round
one hundred and nine out of one hundred

46
00:03:00,120 –> 00:03:04,599
twenty five countries ventured on the Global
Hunger Index. Let us therefore use the

47
00:03:04,639 –> 00:03:07,319
commemoration of June twelve as a location
to return to a truly democratic nation.

48
00:03:07,919 –> 00:03:14,199
We achieved that feat of June twelf
nineteen ninety three by collectively vouteen four democracy

49
00:03:14,199 –> 00:03:16,919
in Nigeria. We must stand in
the fence of Nigeria’s democracy today or be

50
00:03:17,039 –> 00:03:21,759
stested in Coote. Earlier, Peter
or We referenced the outcome of the twenty

51
00:03:21,840 –> 00:03:24,439
twenty four South Africa election results and
condemned the man in Nigeria, twenty twenty

52
00:03:24,439 –> 00:03:29,960
three general elections were conducted. While
making comparative assessments of the two election outcomes.

53
00:03:30,319 –> 00:03:32,719
In quote, he said, the
outcome of the recent South African election

54
00:03:32,840 –> 00:03:38,599
results remains a shining example of what
a transparent and deficient democratic electoral process should

55
00:03:38,639 –> 00:03:43,319
look like with about sixty percent voter
turnout over ninety percent of pulling open on

56
00:03:43,360 –> 00:03:46,479
time allowing Layaspura vote. The results
and uplets were written without any form of

57
00:03:46,520 –> 00:03:52,599
technical bleaches during the election. This
demonstrated the robustness and transparency of their system.

58
00:03:52,840 –> 00:03:57,080
The similness online dissemination of results for
the highlights their commitment to democratic principles

59
00:03:57,080 –> 00:04:00,360
and technological advancement. This is in
stock contry to the show of shame that

60
00:04:00,439 –> 00:04:05,360
the Giants of Africa Nigeria dealed the
world in twenty twenty three. Nigeria’s twenty

61
00:04:05,439 –> 00:04:10,400
twenty three with less than thirty percent
of the voter turnout and over sixty percent

62
00:04:10,439 –> 00:04:14,400
of the polling station starting late no
Naascora Botis. The elections were planned by

63
00:04:14,400 –> 00:04:18,120
allegations of fraud and widespread irregularities all
forms of bleaches. Despite an enormous expenditure

64
00:04:18,160 –> 00:04:20,920
to the Tube of about a billion
dollars direct on vocation of three hundred and

65
00:04:21,000 –> 00:04:26,360
thirteen billion nerors and donal agency supports, the process has been widely discredited.

66
00:04:26,560 –> 00:04:30,480
The differences between the two countries’ electoral
processes are bold, stop and lamentable.

67
00:04:30,000 –> 00:04:34,959
South Africa’s election results center with eastance
of the art electronic board show cast results

68
00:04:35,000 –> 00:04:40,720
with un parallel precision and speed.
Meanwhile, Nigeria’s electoral process is mired in

69
00:04:40,720 –> 00:04:45,160
controversy and less transparency. This clearinge
of just opposition is a painful reminder of

70
00:04:45,199 –> 00:04:48,360
our countries on poin struggles with democratic
gobernals. It’s on this cause they augently

71
00:04:48,480 –> 00:04:53,920
for comprehensive electoral reforms to ensure that
our elections are free, fair and credible.

72
00:04:54,360 –> 00:04:57,839
We must learn from South Africa’s example
and strive to build a system that

73
00:04:57,959 –> 00:05:00,959
restores the people’s firth in our democracy. The time for action is now and

74
00:05:01,040 –> 00:05:05,000
we cannot afford to delay any longer
in addressing these critical issues for in Nigeria
