A key member of the African Democratic Congress, ADC coalition, Senator Aminu Tambuwal, has accused President Bola Tinubu’s administration of being involved in the destabilisation of the opposition in Nigeria.

He made the remarks on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Friday.

Tambuwal said: “If I’m invited by the police I will appear; the interpretation and reading of meaning into the invitation is totally a different ball game altogether.

“Police need to be very circumspect going forward and I can’t say that they are wrong in the invitation.

“We are all sensible and when you look at what is happening in various political parties in Nigeria today, you don’t need to be told the amount of denial that they, including Tinubu, are involved in destabilising efforts of opposition parties.

“I’m saying that they are involved in efforts aimed at destabilising the opposition. I’m saying they are involved in the destabilisation efforts.

“I’m shocked that under Tinubu’s watch, Nigeria is being run the way it’s run today and I can’t say that I’m disappointed because I campaigned against him.”

This guy left Sokoto with the highest multi dimensional poverty rate in the country and also the highest ratio of out of school children in Nigeria. Today, he’s in a fraudulent coalition and blaming everything that is wrong under the sun on President Bola Tinubu.

When are you going to return Amaechi's laptop? This your KPI of attacks on anyone saying the truth about your paymaster is getting played out. Speak to the issues!

I saw your post in the other thread claiming Obong Victor Attah failed as governor of Akwa Ibom just because he rightfully said Nigeria was drifting into authoritarianism under the watch of Tinubu, your tin-god.

That is his modus operandi' of turning Nigeria to a One-party state..

Once he sees that a party is giving him a run for his money, he will start paying people within that party to cause dissident and destabilise that party. With Wike at other end bribing judges to give obnoxious judgements in favour of the trouble-makers in those parties..

Tinubu was never a democrat. Na feudal lord him be.

There are powers higher than him and he will contend with that soon enough. Insha Allah.

Balablu brobed pandora destabilise LP too

It is understandable. The irresponsible moribund government of Tinubu fully knows that it can't buy some people's loyalty with money. Hence takes pleasure in causing forceful destabilization of the leadership of such political party.

The agbadorian bishops/CAN leadership, divided Afeniferi/Ohaneze ndigbo, factional Leadership of many political parties engage in protracted legal crisis are parts of the strategies.

I thought you were going to speak to the issues I raised about who Tambuwal is and his awful performance in office. Instead, you went on a noisemaking rant about Amaechi’s laptop.

When politicians put themselves out as better alternatives, we must scrutinize their records of previous public service so as to ensure they are indeed better than those they are criticizing. That is what speaking truth entails and not jumping around to make unintelligent comments all over the place.

It's no secret.
He's writing a new book on underhandedness.
He's the master, I give it to him.



And a major take-home is "everybody has a price - in cash or in kind"

Peter Obi started the accusation that when he met Yar'adua, Yar'adua called INEC chairman and said he didn't want problems in any party. Now Tambuwal is blaming Tinubu for causing problems in opposition parties.

These people are not prepared to lead Nigeria. They just want employment. If someone instigated a threat against your party, you defuse the threat. Coming out to say it is an admission of defeat. If they had control of their party, no one would destabilize it.

In the unlikely event they become leaders and there are threats against national security, would the blame someone or quell the problem?

You practically left all of the issues raised in this publication and went off about your Sokoto hallucinations and what-nots.

Can't take what you dish out?

Those Obidient would rather attack you than to make any coherent contributions on the issues you raised on Tambuwal records

They don't want any better alternative to take over from Tinubu all they want is just to remove a Yoruba man even if it goes to Elrufai that will still kill and victimize many Christians.

Shawarmagirl:
Buhari should be a lesson to Tinubu and others that power is transient. We'll all die one day ad leave power and wealth behind.

So also Jonathan should be a lesson to everyone, you shouldn't dine with your enemies, you crush them totally.

How about you focusing on the concern raised about Tinubu destabilizing opposition parties. You did not do that, instead you went on to focus on the messenger

It isn't an incumbent party's duty to strengthen the opposition. Matter of fact, it is its duty to weaken it. And it is also the opposition's duty to weaken the incumbent party.

This is what politics entails.

Quoted for posterity. So it's fair game for the government in power to use state resources and apparatus to weaken and destroy all opposition in a democratic dispensation? Noted. It's surprising how previously respected APC handles on this platform have unravelled right before our eyes just to accommodate the excesses of a clearly despotic regime. Posterity will not be on your sides.

When they say Tinubu is a master strategist, they simply mean he's the master of subterfuge, anti-party and other undemocratic moves. He started anti-party in the APC by sponsoring Magnus Abe to create a faction in Rivers just to deny Amaechi a fair contest. He has since exported that dirty politics to the national level by doing the same in all parties and enboldening Wike.

Una just dey know that man?

He ensured Lagos had no opposition for over 2 decades even after he left as governor.

He destroyed the party that made him governor in his first term. Betrayed the people that made him became governor.

Can his supporters come and tell us he made himself governor in 1999?

Those ganging up to take power for selfish reasons will not die, abi? They will remain alive for ever and continue their greed!

Election nah your mate ??
Amarachi who hates Islam with passion is already using ‘Insha Allah’ because of the perpetually evasive ibo presidency 😂😂
Everyone is learning a lesson

Tinubu is indeed a professor

Adamu, aren’t you a keyboard warrior yourself . He will return the laptop when you return the one Hell Rufai gave you 😂😂
So, should Tinubu be strengthening his haters ?? Those bunch of terrorists aren’t opposition because opposition certainly doesn’t include sponsoring bandits and terrorists to kill and maim your own people 😂😂

Tell your handler to make good on his promise to constitute nuisance in Kaduna with thugs . He said no one has monopoly of violence recently 😂

Let’s see the force that is stronger between his and the state

As much as I am not a fan of the current President, it is the greed of people that has destabilised the parties. It is known that most Nigerian politicians and their lackeys have no honour and are for sale to the highest bidder. They only get motivated to move without monies if they are being deprived from partaking in the feeding trough.

Before noon, won't you do same.
That's politics.

We don’t want terrorists anywhere near the SW. We don’t want the fragile and relative peace we are enjoying to get disrupted by bas*a*ds .
Tell that Chinedu that his kind are not wanted anywhere near the politics of Yorubaland. It is that simple
Also, Adamu, I would take you seriously when you are confident enough to post with your previous handle. Yes, that same one you used in supporting Buhari .

Now let me take you down the memory lane

1. Under Jonathan, security forces stormed news paper depot to confiscate national dailies

2. Under the same Jonathan, DSS forcefully entered the APC secretariat in Lagos carting away sensitive party materials

3. Under Jonathan, Buhari was targeted for assassination

4. The parliamentarians were locked out by same Jonathan ( in fact this serial betrayer called Tambuwal was a prominent player during that embarrassing period )

5. We saw how the leader of the biggest opposition party ( Tinubu ) was harassed by the same Jonathan many times .

Don’t even get me started on OBJ. We saw his disregard for rule of law many times . From Odi to Zaki Biam to Anambra to Ibadan .


Your tin god Buhari was very notorious for disregarding rule of law.
We saw how

1. He handled El zakzaky, Dansuki , Kanu and Igboho while allowing folks like you freehand to terrorize the whole Nation

2 . The fossil even banned twitter because his genocidal rhetorics were deleted 😂😂😂.

See, none of you is qualified to talk about rule of law or opposition yadayada

Tell Elrufai, the spirit of Dandiyata would always be there to ensure that his best years in politics were prior to 2023 Insha Allah 🫠

Those he can't buy with our collective commonwealth he divides with tribalism and religion. Those that escape the net of tribalism and religion will be stopped from voting. Those that proved stubborn and voted will be daggared as the agberos grab and run with the ballot boxes.

Did he lie?
All this BAT online warriors can't comprehend simple thing.. you left the main topic and start chasing shadows

For years, Bola Ahmed Tinubu has been portrayed publicly as a political strategist — “The Jagaban.” But beneath the surface, some argue that his power doesn’t come merely from building alliances, but from orchestrating systematic destabilisation of any opposition that could challenge his dominance.

My theory goes like this:

1. Divide and Weaken – Whenever an opposition party starts gaining traction, strange cracks suddenly appear: factions emerge, leaders defect, and infighting paralyzes the party. Insiders whisper that Tinubu has perfected the art of quietly funding rival factions within the same opposition group, ensuring that unity never lasts long enough to challenge him.

2. The Trojan Horse Tactic – Over the years, key opposition leaders who seemed to stand firmly against him suddenly cross over, endorse him, or mysteriously lose relevance. This suggests Tinubu plants allies inside opposition ranks, who work slowly from within until the party is torn apart.

3. The Invisible Hand of State Institutions – Even before becoming president, Tinubu allegedly maintained deep influence over law enforcement, judiciary actors, and electoral officials. Whenever an opposition figure became “too loud,” they faced police invitations, legal cases, or financial audits — tools used not for justice, but for intimidation.

4. Media Narratives – Since his days as Lagos governor, Tinubu is believed to have heavily invested in media ownership and loyalty. This ensures that while opposition crises are amplified, his own camp is portrayed as the stable choice. Subtle manipulation of headlines and selective silence helps set the national mood in his favor.

5. The Long Game – Perhaps the most chilling part of this theory is that Tinubu doesn’t fight battles only in the present. He allegedly sets traps years in advance: cultivating politicians, grooming defectors, and destabilising leaders long before elections are even on the horizon. By the time the public notices, the moves have already been made.

In this lens, what we see today — opposition parties in chaos, defections, and endless court cases — isn’t coincidence or “Nigerian politics as usual.” It’s the continuation of a decades-old strategy, one that has allowed Tinubu to get what he wants again and again.
