The Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Lateef Fagbemi, has called on the elite in Nigeria to actively participate in the democratic process. According to Fagbemi, the involvement of the elite is crucial for strengthening democracy in the country.
Fagbemi made this appeal recently, emphasizing the importance of elite participation in electoral processes. He believes that their active engagement can significantly enhance the legitimacy and stability of democratic institutions.
This call comes at a time when Nigeria is gearing up for various elections and facing several challenges related to democratic governance. Fagbemi’s statement underscores the need for all segments of society, particularly the elite, to contribute to the health and resilience of Nigeria’s democracy.
The Attorney General’s appeal is seen as a move to encourage greater civic responsibility among the elite, who often have significant influence and resources that can impact the democratic process. By urging them to vote and engage in democratic activities, Fagbemi aims to foster a more inclusive and robust democratic environment in Nigeria.
