I t has been two years since the new democratic government of PDP, under Olusegun Aremu Obasanjo has been in office in Nigeria. I have no doubt that there has been some progress in Nigeria in some aspect, because it would be wrong to assume otherwise.
Democracy ensures freedom of speech and of association and freedom of the press.
In this regards no military regime will be better than a democratically elected government. But that is where the jubilation will stop. Since last week, top government functionaries and ministers have been going about enumerating the great achievements of the government. I think only foreign affairs minister Sule Lamido and the president can boost of achieving anything personal. Lamido can say that he and the president visit almost every country in the world in the two years they have been in office, with no benefit to show.
