A former Interim National Chairman of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Bisi Akande says Nigeria is practicing a military form of democracy which is currently not workable.

Akande, who made the remark while addressing a news conference in his country home, Ila- Orangun in Osun State as part of activities to mark his 79th birthday said the system could no longer sustain the nation’s growth and success.

The former Governor of Osun State stressed that the democracy system of multi-party presidentialism being practiced in the United States of America was too complicated and expensive for a country of poor and illiterate people like Nigeria and suggested that the country should instead adopt the multi-party parliamentary democracy if she wishes to catch up with the rest of the world.

He said: “President Buhari is my friend and I want him to succeed but he is running a difficult system of government. Nigeria’s democracy is a military democracy of sharing and if we continue like this, there is no how we can succeed.

“Up to this present age, evidence- based analyses has proven parliamentary democracy to be the most accountable, transparent form of government in the world,” Akande said.

He claimed that the parliamentary system had helped countries like the United Kingdom and Israel become rich, gain the respect of the world andS contributed in strengthening their economies and military.
