December 12, (THEWILL) – A member of the Ogun State House of Assembly, Hon. Oludaisi Elemide, has urged the Federal Government to practise democracy in accordance with the culture of Nigeria in order to save the country from her current challenges.
Elemide said that unless the Federal Government abandons the foreign model of democracy and practise it in line with Nigeria’s culture, the country may continue to struggle to get out of its woes.
According to the lawmaker, who is representing Odeda Federal Constituency, the Federal Government should domesticate and practise democracy in accordance with Nigeria’s culture so as to make the country better.
Noting that European countries were progressive because they practise democracy in their own way, He advised the Federal Government not to copy their democracy model, but practise it in accordance with the Nigerian culture.
“The Oyinbos (the white men) have their nature, they have their culture. In Nigeria we forget our culture when we want to build from nothing. We are practising the Oyinbo democracy. Democracy should be domesticated. It should be our own democracy, a democracy according to our culture.”
