Tinubu Accused of Running Nigeria Like Family Empire, Aide Claims Abuse of Power

A senior aide to Governor Ademola Adeleke, Akintunde Bello Sheriff, accused President Bola Tinubu of running Nigeria like a family empire, worse than military rule. Sheriff criticized Tinubu for allegedly turning the country into his personal estate, interfering in state matters, and weakening democratic institutions.

He also accused Tinubu of backing illegal structures and misusing public funds for personal gain. The aide highlighted the alleged involvement of Tinubu's son, Seyi Tinubu, in state affairs, suggesting a family-centric governance approach.

The accusations point to a perceived erosion of democratic values and abuse of power under Tinubu's leadership.
