2027: Tinubu Using Wike To Destroy Opposition Parties, Push Toward Dictatorship – Atiku’s Aide
Paul Ibe, spokesperson for the 2023 presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, has accused President Bola Tinubu of attempting to establish a dictatorship by undermining and dismantling opposition parties.
Ibe alleged that Tinubu’s goal is to create a one-party state in 2027 by eliminating the opposition parties, including the PDP, Labour Party (LP), and the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), while ignoring the widespread suffering of Nigerians.
He described this as part of a broader strategy to maintain political control in the coming years.
In an interview with News Central TV, Ibe also responded to criticisms of Atiku, rejecting the notion that the former Vice President’s ambition is driven by selfishness.
He emphasized that Atiku’s actions are motivated by patriotism and his dedication to Nigeria’s development.
Ibe acknowledged that, like any political party, the PDP has its issues but emphasized that Tinubu’s administration is actively undermining the opposition rather than focusing on effective governance.
Ibe said: “Atiku is not selfish by choosing to run, it’s patriotism.
“Atiku was never selfish, he presented himself for an election, he won PDP’s primary and it was expected that every member of the party including Wike, who is now the man-Friday of APC administration is now being used to destroy the very fabric of the PDP and other opposition party, that’s selfishness, Atiku was never selfish, he was patriotic and committed to the development of Nigeria.
“What we should be focused on now is that Nigerians are suffering, we need to have a country first before talking about aspirations and ambitions.
“It’s insensitive to be talking about 2027 but that’s what Tinubu is doing. Instead of governing, all his calculations are towards how to suppend the opposition parties and destroy the PDP, destroy Labour Party, destroy NNPP, and pave a way for dictatorship and a one party State; that’s what they are focused on, reason they continue to fumble and stumble in the act of governance.
“The PDP like any other party including the APC have their problems, and like I told you, the strategy of Tinubu’s administration is to undermine and destroy the opposition parties.”
