Nigeria has advanced from a failed state to a threat to the world, according to Duke

Donald Duke, a former governor of Cross River State, has bemoaned the failure of Nigeria and how it is now a threat to the entire world.

No political party can change the nation’s current situation, asserted Duke, who insisted that the system has been tainted.

This was said by him on Saturday during a roundtable discussion of the Front-foot media project in Ikeja, Lagos State.

One of the keynote speakers at the media roundtable, a former governor, bemoaned that the media had lost its ability to hold the government accountable.

He pointed out that political figures now directly or indirectly control media companies.

He said that because of the depth of the nation’s corruption, “many individuals find it strange even to try to do the right thing.”

The only hope we have, continued Duke, is judicial change. Political reform is less necessary than judicial change.

“Our country’s justice system is one of its flaws. Without justice, there can be no peace or cohesion.

Because the system is so deeply flawed, no political party can save us. I don’t think any of the politicians I see today can save us.

Nigeria is no longer only a failing state; due to our mobility, we are now a threat to the entire world.

Mohammed Haruna, National Commissioner of the Independent National Electoral Commission, emphasized the necessity of bolstering Nigeria’s legal system for accountability in a similar manner.

Haruna emphasized that the media should pay more attention to the behavior of politicians than to the constitution.

He remarked, “I’m sure the media can still achieve a lot, but I don’t think they can hold politicians accountable on their own. It is our duty as a collective to keep them accountable. I think the people should be held accountable for institutions via the media.

The public has a responsibility to focus on political behavior at the state and municipal government levels, according to the media.

Sully Abu, Chairman of the FrontFoot Media Initiative, stated earlier in his welcome speech that the roundtable’s goal was to alert media stakeholders to the importance of holding the government responsible.

Editors of leading newspapers, well-known media figures, and representatives of the Wole Soyinka Centre for Investigative Journalism were present at the roundtable.
