[Shola Sholaz]

The Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) has described as a blow to democracy the recent unconstitutional change of government in Egypt.
.
In a statement issued in Lagos on Sunday by its National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the party said it does not matter how popular the public protests that led the military to make the change was, what happened in Egypt was a coup d'etat which must be condemned.
.
"Democracy remains the best form of government known to man, and in order to grow it, it must be nurtured. But if every time there are protests in a democracy, the military moves in to effect a change of government, then democracy will never grow.
.
"Democracy has some universal tenets, which include the fact that free and fair election is the only means of getting to power and the only way of losing it.
.
This means that even if people make a wrong choice, they are stuck with it until the next elections, unless in countries where you have a recall mechanism.

I do not think they should stick their nose into Egypt's business when they have urgent business to take care of in Nigeria...
