Former Sokoto State governor and key member of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) coalition, Senator Aminu Tambuwal, has accused President Bola Tinubu’s administration of orchestrating moves to destabilise opposition parties in Nigeria.
Speaking on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Friday, Tambuwal said he was ‘shocked’ at the way Tinubu is running the country but noted he could not claim to be disappointed since he never supported his candidacy.
“I’m shocked that under Tinubu’s watch, Nigeria is being run the way it’s run today and I can’t say that I’m disappointed because I campaigned against him,” Tambuwal said.
News360 Info reports that the former lawmaker accused the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) government of directly interfering in the internal affairs of opposition parties.
“We are all sensible and when you look at what is happening in various political parties in Nigeria today, you don’t need to be told the amount of denial that they, including Tinubu, are involved in destabilising efforts of opposition parties.
“I’m saying that they are involved in efforts aimed at destabilising the opposition. I’m saying they are involved in the destabilisation efforts,” he stressed.
Tambuwal also responded to reports linking him to a police invitation, stating that he was ready to honour any summons but cautioned security agencies against being used for political purposes.
“If I’m invited by the police I will appear; the interpretation and reading of meaning into the invitation is totally a different ball game altogether.
“Police need to be very circumspect going forward and I can’t say that they are wrong in the invitation,” he said.
