A First republic Minister of
Aviation, Mbazulike Amaechi has described President Muhammadu Buhari as a
dictator, calling on Nigerians to end dictatorship in 2019.
According to him, there was no
difference between Buhari as military Head of State and Buhari as a democratic
president.
The politician was quoted by
Vanguard as saying that Buhari had violated all the rules of democracy,
recalling that he was the only head of State to have overthrown a civilian
government.
Amaechi said, “Nigeria is
practicing dictatorship. Of all the military heads of state, it’s only Buhari
that overthrew a democratic government.
“Other dictators overthrew
military regimes. He is still a dictator. I have been saying it.
“He may have come in through a
democratic regime but there is no difference between Buhari the dictator and
Buhari the President.
“Whether he is wearing khaki or
agbada, he is the same. Nigerians must fight to regain the country.
“Amongst all those who fought for
the independence of Nigeria, I’m the only one still alive and I urge all the
political parties to come together and eschew dictatorship in the country.
“We cannot continue like this
because what is happening now has not happened in Nigeria before where
institutions of democracy like the legislature and the judiciary are being
trampled upon. It is not something to keep quiet about.
“It is something Nigerians should
fight to stop because it is dictatorship.”
