Sunday, June 28, 2026 - The African Democratic Congress, ADC, presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, says Nigerians are now seeing the true colours of president Bola Tinubu.
Atiku said this in a statement on Saturday in
reaction to the court’s judgment directing the Independent National Electoral
Commission, INEC, to register the Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, as a
political party.
He accused Tinubu of attempting to undermine Nigeria’s
democracy through a plot to deregister the NDC, warning that such a move could
pave the way for a one-party state.
The former Vice President described the attempt to
deregister the opposition party through judicial means as evidence of what he
called the administration’s determination to weaken political opposition ahead
of the 2027 general election.
He said any effort to restrict political competition or
limit citizens’ choices at the ballot box poses a serious threat to democratic
governance and national stability.
According to him, the development did not come as a
surprise, arguing that recent actions and political signals from the current
administration have raised concerns about its commitment to democratic
principles.
“Nigerians are now seeing the true colours of President
Tinubu, who pretends to be a democrat, but his body language and the sinister
activities of his agents contradict his mouthed commitment to free and fair
elections,” he said.
