Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar said Bola Tinubu and the All Progressives Congress (APC) of using state power to harass, intimidate, and dismantle the opposition.
Atiku made this statement in a post on his Twitter handle, alleging that the ruling party is systematically working towards establishing a one-party autocracy.
He claimed that his warnings about this agenda had made him a target of relentless attacks.
He condemned the arrest and prosecution of human rights activist and politician Omoyele Sowore, describing it as part of an ongoing campaign against dissenting voices.
He further expressed concern over the alleged targeting of Professor Usman Yusuf, another vocal critic of the administration.

The former vice president also warned that at the current rate, the government might extend its crackdown to more opposition figures and critics.
“When I made the clarion call that Tinubu and the APC were devoting their energies to the systematic harassment, intimidation, and dismantling of the opposition, all in service of their grand design for a one-party autocracy, I became the target of vicious attacks.
” The arrest and baseless prosecution of Yele Sowore is the latest chapter in this unrelenting campaign. Now, they have seen fit to add Professor Usman Yusuf — an outspoken critic of this administration — into their grim roster. At the pace they are going, it seems they may soon find themselves contending with the incarceration of every one of us,” he wrote.
