Former Jigawa Governor Hits Tinubu for Using Federal Mechanisms Against Opposition.
Ex‑Jigawa Governor Sule Lamido has leveled serious accusations against President Bola Tinubu, claiming that the federal government is misusing state instruments to repress opposition and undermine democratic structures.
Lamido warned that such power centralization could escalate into authoritarian tendencies, particularly as the ADC coalition gains traction and former PDP members coordinate to challenge APC dominance in 2027.
He further rejected rumors that the ADC coalition revolves around a single personality, arguing instead that the alliance must be rooted in policy vision and national cohesion—not mere political convenience.
Commentators note Lamido’s boldness underlines growing unease within opposition ranks about state interference in party politics—and whether free political expression can survive under Tinubu’s administration.
