NDC Registration: No Hiding Place – Atiku’s Aide Sends Warning To Peter Obi, Kwankwaso, Others

An aide to former vice president, Atiku Abubakar, Paul Ibe has accused President Bola Tinubu of trying to obliterate the opposition.

Naija News reports that Ibe made the claim while reacting to a Federal High Court ruling that set aside its earlier judgment directing the registration of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) as a political party.

Speaking via his 𝕏 account, the aide urged opposition leaders, including Peter Obi and Rabiu Kwankwaso, to unite ahead of the 2027 election.

He described the Lokoja court’s decision as a “wake-up call” for the opposition, alleging that President Bola Tinubu was pursuing a de facto one-party state.

He claimed the ruling signalled that there was “no hiding place for the opposition” and accused the President of seeking to weaken opposition parties ahead of the 2027 election.

Ibe further alleged that Tinubu intended to “obliterate the opposition” if allowed to have his way politically, and warned that Nigeria’s democracy was under threat.

Ibe wrote: “The decision of the Federal High Court Lokoja in setting aside its earlier judgement on the registration of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) should be a wake-up call that there is no hiding place for the opposition as the incompetent and clueless Tinubu @officialABAT sets his sights on enthroning a de facto one-party state.

“His message is loud and clear: that he will obliterate the opposition and destroy our hard-won democracy if he does not have his way in the 2027 election. It is not too late for the opposition to harmonize their strengths ahead of 2027 if the Yar’Adua 2.0 President Tinubu is to be retired to either Bourdillon or Iragbiji!”
