Lagos, Nigeria – Former Anambra State Governor, Dr. Chris Ngige, has revisited a shocking incident from his tenure, recalling how an armed assailant pointed an AK-47 at him during his time in office. This revelation comes in response to recent remarks by former President Olusegun Obasanjo, who lamented the decline of democracy in Africa.
Ngige’s statement has reignited discussions on Nigeria’s democratic history, particularly under Obasanjo’s administration. Critics argue that incidents like Ngige’s ordeal—allegedly occurring under Obasanjo’s leadership—contradict the former president’s current stance on democracy.
Obasanjo, often referred to as “St. Matthew” in political circles, has been vocal about governance issues across the continent. However, his critics question whether his own administration upheld the democratic principles he now defends.
The resurfacing of Ngige’s experience serves as a reminder of Nigeria’s turbulent political past, raising concerns about selective memory in assessing democratic progress under President Tinubu’s administration.
