Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has criticized President Bola Tinubu, alleging that his administration is using state institutions to silence opposition voices and stifle dissent. Atiku claims the government's actions are politically motivated and not genuine efforts to combat corruption. He cited the recent arrest of Professor Usman Yusuf, a prominent social commentator, as an example of this alleged suppression. Atiku also accused the Tinubu administration of selectively targeting opposition figures while shielding its allies.
Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has once again criticized President Bola Tinubu , accusing him of using state institutions to suppress opposition voices. Atiku claims that the current administration is not genuinely fighting corruption but rather silencing critics to maintain political control.
He further accused the Tinubu administration of selectively targeting opposition figures while protecting its own allies, some of whom, he claimed, are facing corruption allegations at both local and international levels. “It is absurd that while the administration shelters those under investigation, it continues to exploit state institutions to stifle dissent, all under the false pretense of combating corruption,” he stated.
