Atiku Accuses Tinubu of Turning Nigeria into a Police State

Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar criticizes President Bola Tinubu's administration for silencing critics and creating a culture of fear in Nigeria. Atiku warns of a repressive regime that suppresses dissent using laws like the Cybercrime Act.

He condemns Tinubu's government for responding to economic challenges and protests with brute force instead of empathy. Atiku highlights the deteriorating human rights record under Tinubu's rule, citing attacks on press freedom and civil liberties.

He calls for checks on executive excesses and predicts a political battle against Tinubu's hegemony in the 2027 elections.
