Democracy That Nurtures Insecurity Must Be Thrown Overboard – Obasanjo
Obasanjo, who was hosted by the Governor of Oyo State, Seyi Makinde, at the opening of internal roads in Iseyin, described a democracy built on unemployment as a failure.
“Democracy that nurtures a lack of peace and security must be thrown overboard,” said Obasanjo.
“Democracy dividends must involve peace, security, stability, prosperity, wealth creation, employment and the wholesomeness of the society.”
