Tinubu plotting to impose one-party state through election courts and abuse of power
By Jeph Ajobaju, Chief Copy Editor
Bola Tinubu is plotting to abuse his presidential powers to ensure his All Progressives Congress (APC) swallows up completely or decimates the opposition so he can force a one-party state on Nigeria of 200 million people, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has alerted.
PDP National Publicity Secretary Debo Ologunagba said this is evident in the manipulation of election results and conflicting judgments by election petition courts.
“The PDP alerts of attempts and actions of a cabal within the Presidency to emasculate the Institutions of Democracy in Nigeria, especially the Independent National Electoral Commission [INEC] and the Judiciary in the desperation to foist a one-party state on Nigerians,” Ologunagba alleged in a statement.
It is public knowledge, he stressed, that election petition court judgments conflict with the express provisions of the Constitution, the Electoral Act 2022, and INEC Guidelines and Regulations, mainly to benefit both Tinubu himself and the APC.
“Aside from the preponderance of such ugly scenarios in Plateau State, the conduct and outcome of certain election petitions in Zamfara, Sokoto, Kebbi, Nasarawa, and other States of the nation where PDP was robbed of victory through the courts are pointers to a systemic emasculation of the opposition in a bid to impose a one-party state and pave [the] way for totalitarianism in the country.
“This situation is a clear and present danger to the sustenance of Nigeria’s democracy, unity, political stability and corporate existence as a nation, which is capable of breeding agitation, citizens’ loss of confidence in the system, restiveness, anarchy and chaos.”

Allowing democracy to thrive
Ologunagba insisted democracy must be allowed to thrive as the government of the people as expressed by their will at elections, stressing any intrusion, breach, violation, and transgression against that expressed will is a clear recipe for a grave political crisis, according to reporting by The PUNCH.
He urged Tinubu to come clean by speaking out and denouncing any attempt or action that can stifle democracy, the rule of law, and the independence of the judiciary.
He also implored Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN) Olukayode Ariwoola and President of the Court of Appeal Monica Dongban-Mensem to assert the independence of the judiciary at this critical time for the defence and sustenance of democracy and the rule of law in Nigeria
“The PDP charges Nigerians and indeed all lovers of democracy across the world to rise to the occasion, speak out, and take urgent legitimate steps to defend, protect, and preserve our hard-earned democracy from the onslaught of the APC.”
