El-Rufai Accuses Tinubu of Power Grab as Atiku Warns Against Authoritarianism
Kaduna State Governor El-Rufai accuses Bola Tinubu of seeking to cling to power, alleging authoritarian tendencies in Tinubu's administration. El-Rufai made these claims during a visit from Atiku Abubakar, who recently joined the African Democratic Congress (ADC) to counter Tinubu's influence.
Atiku criticized Tinubu for centralizing power instead of promoting federalism, urging Nigerians to unite against Tinubu's alleged bid for a lifelong presidency. The accusations highlight growing political tensions ahead of the 2023 elections.
Tinubu's camp defends his actions as fulfilling his mandate, while critics fear a drift towards autocracy.
