“Democratic consolidation must be agency. Democratic norms must be valued. They need to type a part of our lifestyle. Sadly, each election cycle appears to be getting worse.
“In a democracy, the bulk may have their means, and the minority may have their say. However what you have got now’s a minority making an attempt to impose its will on the bulk,” he mentioned.
The PDP’s mouthpiece, nevertheless, issued a stern warning that the incident uncovered social gathering members to severe hazard.
