The ruling All Progressives Congress has been accused of engineering a crisis in the Peoples Redemption Party, based on speculations members of the Africa Democratic Congress might migrate to the PRP.
ADC national publicity secretary, Bolaji Abdullahi alleged that the President Bola Tinubu-led government is hell bent on destroying all political opposition.
“This has to be the most shameless government in Nigeria’s history,” Abdulahi wrote on his X social media platform.
“About three weeks ago, the leadership of the PRP, led by its National Chairman, Hakeem Baba-Ahmed, paid a courtesy visit to the National Chairman of the ADC.
“A few days later, rumours began to circulate that the coalition leadership was considering the PRP as an option.
“Although this is not true, it took only that single whiff of speculation for a faction to emerge almost overnight in what had been a historically tranquil political party, challenging the leadership of Baba-Ahmed.
“This is the reality of Nigeria’s shrinking democratic space under the All-Progressives Congress.
“The government may continue to deny any involvement in the crises within other parties, insisting that these are merely internal failures, but the pattern is visible. The world can see what is happening. More importantly, they can see where this path leads.”
He submitted that President Tinubu’s intention is to cripple all opposition, so that the people will be left with no choice but vote for him.
“A political strategy that is anchored on sabotaging every opposition platform is ultimately self-destructive.
“When people are left with no options, they are, in reality, left with no choice.”
