"All hope is not lost Nigeria's democracy is still the best," says Dr. Olisa Agbakoda.

The Senior Advocate of Nigeria, SAN, Dr. Olisa Agbakoda has given his view on the recently concluded Presidential election on 23rd February, 2019.

He said "I feel strongly called upon to reach out to my brothers and sisters on the state of our democracy. Democracy has always been about majority rule and when there is the emergence of an "unpopular choice", it leaves.

"The just concluded elections give credence to this. But I strongly believe that there is hope for us as a people and as a nation. We have a collective duty to perfect our democracy so it always produces the popular choice. I have worked all my life to enthrone democracy.

"I am committed to perfecting it. I enjoin us as citizens to continue to hold government accountable & continue to advocate for the strengthening of our institutions, restructuring and upholding of the rule of law. Only then can we make progress as a nation.

"In the meantime, I leave you with the words of President Franklin D. Roosevelt “This great nation will endure as it has always endured, our hopes will be revived again and our nation will prosper."

Nigeria will work again!!!

Many twitter users concurred with the Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Olisa's view on the democracy in Nigeria and at the other end, some were critical.
