Paul Azuka, Chairman, Nigerian Bar Association (NBA), Asaba Branch, has described Nigeria’s democratic journey as slow and largely stagnant.

‎Azuka stated this in an interview with Newsmen while reacting to Nigeria’s 27 years of unbroken democratic rule and June 12 Democracy Day commemoration in Asaba on Friday.

‎He said though Nigeria has recorded progress in some areas, the pace of development remained slow and uneven.

‎According to him, certain sectors have moved forward, while others have experienced setbacks.
