Abayomi Mighty as described Nigeria’s 26 years of uninterrupted civilian rule and nation’s democracy as a hollow shell, asking whether citizens are truly beneficiaries of democratic dividends or merely spectators in a system devoid of substance.
He defined democracy as a system based on popular sovereignty, adherence to the rule of law, separation of powers, free and fair elections, and protection of fundamental human rights. However, he insisted Nigerians are being denied these core tenets.
Abayomi Mighty cited skyrocketing food inflation, crippling cost of living and fuel price hikes. He pointed at the collapse of the naira and refinery failures, which brought the average litre of petrol to N900 and plunged millions into severe hunger. He lambasted the Tinubu’s administration’s anti-people policies, describing them a betrayal of public trust.
Abayomi Mighty argued that Nigeria isn’t genuinely democratic. He cited blatant disrespect for court rulings and constitutional mandates. He pointed to multiple cases of contempt which reveal an executive and its allies choosing whims over law.
Abayomi Mighty also lamented widespread insecurity and police brutality— the brutal crackdown on End-Bad-Governance protesters which reportedly claimed 21 lives. He argued that this militarized response proves that ordinary Nigerians are treated as enemies of the state.
Workers’ dire plights and worsening human development indicators were not spared. Abayomi Mighty highlighted the debilitating effects of incessant power outages, decaying public infrastructure, poor working conditions, and the failure to bolster educational and healthcare systems—resources diverted to fund presidential extravagance instead.
He condemned President Tinubu’s extravagant spending on private jets, overseas medical trips, and luxury while the state crumbles under inflation and infrastructural decay, concluding that after two years, the administration boasts no meaningful achievements, only broken promises and widened suffering.
Abayomi Mighty advocated for a return to genuine democracy; he proposed strengthening institutions, restoring judicial independence, enforcing court orders, ensuring transparency, and prioritizing human development. In his words, “Nigeria can only be saved if we refuse to accept banana-republic governance and embrace accountable, people-centered leadership.”
