APDA reacts to Ekweremadu’s statement on Military takeover

The Advanced People’s Democratic Alliance (APDA) has described the remarks made by the Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu, on the possibility of military take over of power in Nigeria.  as “shocking”.

APDA made this known in a statement on Friday signed by its publicity secretary, Tosin Adeyanju.

“Our democracy is evolving and we all must be patient to see it mature to a stage that will be the envy of all.

“No doubt we are still far from where we should be as a nation, but we are moving towards it and all stakeholders in the Nigeria project must be part of this journey of nation building and not be involved in destroying our hard-earned democracy.

“We are aware of the challenges being faced by Nigerians but that those challenges are surmountable if we all unite towards nation building and contribute our quota at any area of endeavour we may find ourselves.

“We should all remember that we have no other country than Nigeria and we must do things that promote unity and prosperity of the country at all times.

“Our democracy should be protected and strengthened by all citizens of our country because it is the only vehicle that will take us to our prosperity,” the statement read.

At a Senate plenary on Wednesday, Ekweremadu had said “The problem in Nigeria is that our democracy is receding. Who says army cannot take over? Let us not joke with our democracy, that is the issue.”

The Military has since reacted to his comments.
