We can't have one-party system in Nigeria -ADC dares Tinubu
African Democratic Congress (ADC) chieftains warned President Bola Tinubu on Wednesday in Abuja against turning Nigeria into a one-party state. Speaking on behalf of the party during the OccupyINEC protest, Peter Obi said, "We are simply holding a peaceful demonstration to say that we cannot have a one-party system in our country. It is a democratic nation."
Peter Obi stated that the Tinubu administration is destroying democratic governance in Nigeria. Obi said, "We are appealing to those in government: do not destroy our democracy. We need it for our children and for generations to come. Nigerians must have the freedom to choose who leads them. This is critical for our country." Former Minister of Transportation and ex-Rivers State governor, Rotimi Amaechi, accused Tinubu's administration of forcing hunger on Nigerians.
Rotimi Amaechi warned that Tinubu would lose the 2027 presidential election. Amaechi said, "Imagine a president who came to power and the first thing he did was to change the national anthem… and gave us hunger. He said he would give us roads; up till now, they have not given us roads. The money is gone. By the grace of God, they will lose the election."
