Former National Publicity Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Chief Olisa Metuh, has said democracy in the country cannot thrive without a viable opposition.
Metuh, who stated this, yesterday, on the sidelines of a thanksgiving service at the Glad Tidings Assembly, Abuja to commemorate his 60th anniversary, said he does not believe in a one party state.
The former opposition spokesman stated that despite the challenges in the polity, including the excesses and impunity at the various levels of government, the country has done well in the 26 years of the current democratic dispensation.
“I don’t believe in one party system. There should not be one party. No democracy can work without vibrant opposition. We need vibrant opposition. We need people to express their views,” he stated.
He announced that he was back to active politics and gave hints that he was heading to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
