Human rights lawyer, Dele Farotimi, has stated that the votes of Nigerians during any election period do not count.
Speaking in a video shared on X, Farotimi said revolution is
the only means to save the country from what he described as dictatorship.
According to him, Nigeria is facing the democratic
installation of a dictatorship, rendering current voting system ineffective
without systemic change.
To save the country, the activist proposed fundamental
restructuring and reimagining of Nigeria and charged the citizens to do what is
necessary to change the narrative.
“Your vote does not count, and the judiciary will endorse it
unless you and I decide to do something about it.
“The one thing I have never been shy about is to tell you
what it will take to save Nigeria, and this is my own belief.
“The only way forward for Nigeria is restructuring. It will
take a revolution to save Nigeria. It might come through the ballot, but I’m
not convinced it will.
“But if sufficient numbers are persuaded to believe in the
vision, not the person’ vision for a new Nigeria placed on the ballot, if you
don’t place vision for a new Nigeria on the ballot, you cannot mobilize the
people to stand behind their votes, and that is why the distraction has been
completely about politics,” he said.
