Ex-President of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) and human rights activist, Olisa Agbakoba, SAN, has dismissed the strength of the opposition ahead of the forthcoming elections. He said the stiff competition does not make this year’s elections different from previous ones as both the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the ruling People’s Democratic Party (PDP) are driven by lust for power to amass wealth.
“I would have preferred a debate from both sides but what we hear are deafening noise that makes no sense. All I can say is that the 2015 election psyche is the same as that of the 1999, 203, 2007 and 2011; nothing has changed,” he told Saturday Vanguard in an interview.
