National Publicity Secretary of African Democratic Congress (ADC), Bolaji Abdullahi said the Bola Tinubu-led All Progressives Congress (APC) government has been actively working to destroy the political opposition and lying about it.
He stated this in an X post on Tuesday.
According to Abdullahi, the democratic space is shrinking under the APC characterised by a pattern of meddling in the affairs of opposition parties.
He said those within the APC-led government bent on engineering crises in opposition parties must be cautioned before they plunge the nation into political instability.
Abdullahi said, “This has to be the most shameless government in Nigeria’s history.
“About three weeks ago, the leadership of the PRP, led by its National Chairman, Hakeem Baba-Ahmed, paid a courtesy visit to the National Chairman of the ADC.
“A few days later, rumours began to circulate that the coalition leadership was considering the PRP as an option.
“Although this is not true, it took only that single whiff of speculation for a faction to emerge almost overnight in what had been a historically tranquil political party, challenging the leadership of Baba-Ahmed.
“This is the reality of Nigeria’s shrinking democratic space under the All Progressives Congress.
“The government may continue to deny any involvement in the crises within other parties, insisting that these are merely internal failures, but the pattern is visible. The world can see what is happening. More importantly, they can see where this path leads.
“But here is the question: is there no one within the APC who can caution those engineering crises in opposition parties that they are, in fact, sowing the seeds of national instability?
“A political strategy that is anchored on sabotaging every opposition platform is ultimately self-destructive.
“When people are left with no options, they are, in reality, left with no choice.”
