Mike Ozekhome, senior advocate of Nigeria (SAN), says Nigeria is “gradually driving towards a one-party state” and dictatorship.

Recently, there have been waves of politicians defecting to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

The latest defection was that of Uno Emo, governor of Akwa Ibom, who joined APC from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

Ozekhome described the gale of defections as “bootlicking at its highest level”.

He warned that Nigeria is moving towards one-party state and, by extension, dictatorship.

“People are falling over themselves to endorse the president, who has not been allowed to do his job over two years,” the SAN said.

May Day: Hunger, unemployment, insecurity real— Tinubu

According to him: “The theme demands our collective attention and serves as a stark reminder of the need to create an environment where every worker feels safe, valued, and empowered to contribute to the growth and prosperity of our nation. As your President, I assure you that this administration is committed to creating such an environment for the common good.”

On the economic hardship, he noted that while it is a global phenomenon, its effects on Nigerians are particularly severe.

Tinubu said: “I am aware of the peculiarities of the economic hardship Nigerians face—rising living costs, hunger, insecurity, unemployment, and the loss of livelihoods. These challenges are real and demand definitive solutions, which I am poised to address as your President.

My biggest concern is that our institutions are weak and nobody can call the president to order.

“The worst illiterate is the political illiterate, he doesn’t hear, doesn’t speak, nor participates in the political events.

He doesn’t know the cost of life, the price of the bean, of the fish, of the flour, of the rent, of the shoes and of the medicine, all depends on political decisions. The political illiterate is so stupid that he is proud and swells his chest saying that he hates politics.

The slowpoke doesn’t know that, from his political ignorance is born the prostitute, the abandoned child, and the worst thieves of all, the bad politician, corrupted and flunky of the national and multinational companies.”

― Bertolt Brecht

How did we fair during GEJ - alias Ebele' yet , average Easterners-believed it's their own govt,so Mr Ezekhome,what change during that Govt?
Besides,did you voted for Tinubu?
So,why complaints now,as you normally do?
Just this Week, you were Condemning the Supreme Court Judgement, through Social Media, something you should have done internally but because you think you can talk,by downgrading the Institution that brought you People up!
Highly disappointed.

Hmmm

but it ended well with Babangida, Yakubu Gowon and Buhari

It is only in Nigeria those who lost elections insist they must serve in the winner's government.

Did Ozekhome not serve as counsel to one of those who had petitions against Tinubu? After fighting against his elections, he should now insert them to do further damage?

That was how Osita Chidoka then in PDP was advising APC to choose a national chairman from the southeast. That was unfair to the northwest, southwest, southsouth and northcentral where Tinubu won at least a state. Even core APC southeast did not feel as entitled as Osita.

Anyway, Wike was not Tinubu's man. Bayo Ojulari was not Tinubu's man. Mele Kyari was not Tinubu's man. We can list several ministers who got there on merit. Tunji Alausa, Bunmi Tunji-Ojo, Badaru, Ibrahim Geidam, Christopher Musa, etc. Is Ozekhome unhappy that Lateef Fagbemi SAN is attorney-general? So the job should be given to someone who did bot accept Tinubu defeated their paymasters?

As for the talk that Tinubu is driving Nigeria to a one party state, it is not possible. APC does not even have 28 state governors as PDP had at some point. At that time, PDP did not turn Nigeria to a one-party state. PDP is crying because they plundered their chances due to individual greed and poor management. Even now, the party is at the mercy of Atiku's unwavering greed for power and Wike's quest to balance the scales. Until both Atiku and Wike leave PDP, PDP would never find peace.
