Former Jigawa State Governor, Alhaji Sule Lamido, has warned President Bola Ahmed Tinubu that using federal agencies to weaken opposition parties could backfire and bring down his presidency. Speaking in Birninkudu after being elected as a national delegate for the upcoming PDP congress, Lamido accused Tinubu and the APC of turning government institutions into weapons to crush political opponents ahead of the 2027 elections.

Lamido expressed concern over the growing number of defections from the PDP, describing the situation as dangerous for the country’s future. “When you use bodies like INEC, the Police, DSS, and EFCC to fight your opponents, you are not just hurting them. You are also hurting yourself,” he said.

He stressed that democracy thrives on strong opposition and warned that destroying political diversity would ultimately harm both Tinubu’s presidency and Nigeria’s democratic foundation.

“Freedom, liberty, and opposition are the pillars of democracy,” he said. “Tinubu thinks weakening the PDP will strengthen him, but he is wrong. Bringing down the PDP is like pulling down Nigeria itself, and eventually, it will collapse on him.”

Lamido remained hopeful that the PDP would bounce back, predicting that many defectors would return before the end of the year. “Just give it five or six months. They will come back,” he said.

“Tinubu and those following him are walking into political disaster.”

He criticized the use of government power to intimidate opposition figures, saying the battle was no longer political but a direct assault by the government itself. “A political party should be able to defend itself,” Lamido said. “But when it’s the government and the president leading the attack, that is very dangerous.”

He also questioned why politicians were afraid of anti-corruption agencies like the EFCC, recalling that Tinubu himself had once faced corruption allegations under former EFCC chairman Nuhu Ribadu. “If Tinubu had been exposed by the EFCC before, why should anyone fear him now?” Lamido asked.

Speaking about his election as a national delegate, Lamido explained that recent changes in the PDP’s constitution made it necessary. “Before, former governors and BOT members were automatic delegates,” he said. “But now, with the number of delegates cut down from about 5,000 to less than 800, my people asked me to contest to guide and support them.”

Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has promised to keep unsettling those who oppose President Bola Tinubu by continuing to deliver impactful projects across Abuja. Speaking at the commissioning of key roads including the Arterial Road N16 and other projects in the Katampe district, Wike said he now fully understands how much resentment some people have for the President’s achievements since taking office in 2023.

According to Wike, a recent moment while watching TV opened his eyes to how deeply some critics are affected by Tinubu’s progress. “Something just moved me to switch on the TV, and I saw the anger and pain on people’s faces,” Wike said. “Now I get it—some people are really hurting. So I’ve taken it upon myself to increase their blood pressure with more good work.”

He added that while critics stay bitter, he and others will keep enjoying the results of their efforts. “We’ll be smiling, moving around freely, while they stay mad and frustrated. That’s my new mission,” he said. Wike thanked President Tinubu for leading what he described as a development revolution in the FCT.

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has urged Nigerians to resist any move towards a one-party system, accusing the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) of trying to silence opposition and undermine democracy. In a statement issued ahead of its upcoming National Convention set for August 2025 in Kano, the PDP said the event would be a turning point to elect new national leaders, strengthen the party’s internal structure, and prepare to challenge the APC in the 2027 general elections.

The party stressed that this convention would focus on electing capable leaders through a process rooted in merit, transparency, and fairness. It said this was necessary to confront what it described as the APC’s mismanagement of the country. The PDP accused the APC of using threats, intimidation, and interference in opposition parties to weaken Nigeria’s democratic system. It also blamed the ruling party for worsening economic conditions, growing poverty, and rising insecurity, calling the situation “unprecedented hardship” under President Bola Tinubu’s administration.

The opposition party urged Nigerians not to allow democracy to be replaced with authoritarian control. It encouraged citizens to unite behind the PDP and support efforts to bring back true democratic governance in the country. According to the statement, the Kano convention will help reawaken the PDP and prepare it to lead a renewed fight for a better Nigeria where all citizens can live in peace and prosperity.

The party concluded by calling on its members, stakeholders, and every patriotic Nigerian to stand firm, support the party’s mission, and help build a stronger front against what it described as the APC’s anti-people policies. “Together, we can stop the APC’s plans and return Nigeria to a path of progress, safety, and economic stability,” the PDP said.
