Atiku: Nigeria's Democracy in "Existential" Danger

Former Nigerian Vice President Atiku Abubakar has issued a stark warning. He says the country's democracy is under an "existential threat." Atiku accuses President Bola Tinubu's administration of a deliberate strategy. He claims the government is weakening opposition parties and reducing democratic freedoms. This pattern, he argues, is creating a system that functions like a one-party state. Such a shift would fundamentally alter Nigeria's political landscape. The warning comes from a key opposition figure. Atiku was the presidential candidate for the People's Democratic Party (PDP) in the last election.
