Anosike Blasts Tinubu’s Democracy Day Honours as ‘90% Political Payout for APC’

Public affairs analyst Dr. Peter Anosike says President Tinubu’s Democracy Day honours list is out of touch with Nigerians’ realities. He argues the awards and national security narrative have become mere political messaging. Anosike claims 90% of the honourees were rewarded for party loyalty, not sacrifices for democracy. He was shocked to see key activists omitted in favour of APC members. He points out that figures like Olisa Agbakoba, who suffered for the 1993 protests, were left out. To Anosike, this undermines the symbolic value of June 12 recognition. Beyond the honours list, he warns that Nigeria’s democratic gains are faltering. He says civilian rule must mean development and protection of fundamental rights, not just a change of leadership.
