SaharaReporters earlier reported that the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the last general elections, and former Vice President of Nigeria, Atiku Abubakar, expressed fears that Nigeria was on the brink of a one-party state dictatorship.
This is even as he called on stakeholders in the country such as politicians, statesmen, and other stakeholders to take action and reclaim Nigeria’s democracy from the looming threats of oppression.
He had stated this during his Independence Day message to Nigerians on Monday.
He had noted that Nigeria risks becoming a one-party state with dictatorship, under the current President Bola Tinubu-led government.
The former Vice President accused the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) of manipulating internal processes to render the opposition parties ineffective.
