LunagisthubNigeria’s Opposition Parties Under Siege: Tambuwal Accuses APC and Tinubu
Aminu Tambuwal, former governor of Sokoto State and current senator, has leveled serious allegations against President Bola Tinubu and the ruling All Progressives Congress. According to Tambuwal, the APC and Tinubu are actively working to destabilize opposition parties in Nigeria, undermining the country’s democracy .
Tambuwal made these claims during an appearance on Channels Television’s Politics Today, stating that the APC’s actions are aimed at creating a one-party state. He pointed to recent defections from opposition parties to the APC, as well as internal squabbles within opposition parties, as evidence of the ruling party’s efforts to weaken its opponents .
When pressed for evidence to support his allegations, Tambuwal was unequivocal: “I am not accusing them. I am saying they are involved in efforts aimed at destabilization of opposition parties.” He emphasized that the signs of the APC’s involvement are clear and obvious, leaving no room for doubt .
Tambuwal’s accusations have significant implications for Nigeria’s democracy. If true, they suggest a deliberate attempt by the ruling party to undermine the opposition and consolidate power. This could lead to a one-party state, where the APC dominates the political landscape, and opposition voices are silenced .
The APC has dismissed Tambuwal’s allegations, with President Tinubu previously mocking the opposition coalition as a “sinking ship.” However, Tambuwal remains resolute in his claims, warning that the APC’s actions pose a threat to Nigeria’s democracy .
As the 2027 general elections approach, the battle between the APC and opposition parties is likely to intensify. Tambuwal’s allegations will likely fuel further controversy and tension, raising questions about the future of Nigeria’s democracy .
