The Spokesman for the 2023 All Progressive Congress, APC dissolved Campaign Council, Festus Keyamo, SAN, has clamoured for government of national unity, saying that “It is better to quarrel amongst ourselves and keep developing our democracy than to return to military rule.”
Keyamo said this via his official Twitter handle @fkeyamo in commemoration of June 12 democracy day, which saw the annulment of the 1993 election claimed to be won by MKO Abiola.
According to him, the worst form of democracy is better than the best dictatorship.
His statement reads, “Another significance of ‘June 12’ is that Nigerians were able to discover that the worst form of democracy is better than the best dictatorship; Nigerians have since realised after the ‘June 12’ struggle that it is better to quarrel amongst ourselves and keep developing our democracy than to return to military rule.
“Hence you can see that after the last election, when some of these younger elements were more or less calling for an interim government and some unconstitutional interventions because of their disappointment over their candidates’ failure, even the elders in their camps called them to order. They had no idea they were playing with fire.”
