Presidency Claps Back at Atiku and Peter Obi Over Allegations of Political Persecution
The Presidency has hit back at Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi, accusing them of attempting to revive their failed political careers by seeking scapegoats like Tinubu. The opposition leaders, including Bode George and John Odigie-Oyegun, raised concerns about the alleged misuse of state institutions such as EFCC and Nigeria Police for political persecution.
The Presidency, on the other hand, denies weaponizing these institutions against the opposition, placing the responsibility on the failings of the opposition coalition. The statement emphasizes the need to strengthen Nigeria's multi-party democracy ahead of the 2027 general elections.
