Nas spoke to newsmen in Kaduna yesterday. He said that it was necessary for Chief Anenih and the ruling People’s Democratic Party [PDP] to explain to Nigerians what they meant by the statement because those currently in power were behaving as if they were serving military officers. According to Alhaji Nas it is necessary for the people to tackle Chief Anenih and his party because of their arrogance in power. Nas said that Anenih particularly said in 2001 that there would be no vacancy in Aso Rock by 2003 and his prediction came to pass. He said that the PDP government had in the last five years of being in power brought down the quality of democracy believing that the people could only be governed through authoritarian tactics.  “For sure, in the last five years, the quality of democratic practices and political values have considerably decline and this is not without substantial input from the current managers of the polity, who believe that for democracy to be properly operated, it must function by authoritarian tactics “With experienced members of the political class substantially reduced to ‘beggars’ of democracy, there will be free reign for it to remain under the protective custody of militarism for years to come. The new breed political class has a lot to do, to mobilize, to ensure that democracy and true political practices are constantly kept on track. “Boldness is what is needed on their part to ensure their own survival as the polity is most likely going to drift towards militarized democracy. With their resolute determination, the emerging militaristic content of the polity could be moderated. For them to remain relevant, they have to do that.” he said.   Home  |  Cover Stories  |  National Newsreel  |  Politics  |  Business  |  Sports  |  World  | Contact  | Advert Rates © 1998- 2004.
