SAME PEOPLE WHO LEAD ECOWAS, AU RIG ELECTIONS, DERAIL DEMOCRACY
-By Zik Gbemre
ECOWAS and the Africa Union (AU) condemn military takeover in Africa but shy away from taking decisive action against derailing democracy in Africa because same people who lead misgovernment in Africa are the ones leading the ECOWAS and AU.
The leaders of the continent's nation who control the regional bodies are bird of same feather, partners in government for their private pockets, so the ECOWAS, AU have lost purpose.
They derail democracy in their individual countries. The so-called leaders are glued to absolute power and can't stay out of it.
Democracy is not functioning in African countries as it is in the western countries. Is there rule of law here? Is there democracy?
What we see in Africa is imposition of leaders on the people whether they like it or not. In Nigerian they will use EFCC and police to suppress critics of government.
The Nigerian Police National Cybercrime Centre headed by CP Uche Ifeanyi Henry now arrest people indiscriminately in conspiracy to shut out opposition in the country.
This is what is happening in Africa. African countries lack good governance so what we see in the continent is mock democracy.
