Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has criticised the model of democracy practised in Nigeria and other African countries, saying it lacks the continent’s context and content and has promoted a winner-takes-all political culture. He said the Western liberal democracy inherited by African countries was not designed to reflect the continent’s history, culture and realities. “The Western liberal democracy that we inherited pulls from monarchy, hence we can have government and loyal opposition, loyal to the monarchy. You can call it democracy if you like, you can call it African democracy. In that case it will be African with African context and African content,” he said.
