In a post on X on Thursday, Atiku voiced  concern that the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) is hellbent on destroying  democratic opposition and establishing a one-party state.

“When I made the clarion call that Tinubu and the APC were devoting their energies to the systematic harassment, intimidation, and dismantling of the opposition—all in service of their grand design for a one-party autocracy—I became the target of vicious attacks,” Atiku wrote.

“At the pace they are going, it seems they may soon find themselves contending with the incarceration of every one of us,” he warned.
