APC Cannot Turn Nigeria Into One-Party State – Bucknor-Akerele

All Progressives Congress (APC)

Former Deputy Governor of Lagos State, Kofoworola Bucknor-Akerele, has warned against the desperate attempts by the All Progressive Congress (APC) to turn Nigeria into a one-party state. She recently had her say during her appearance on Vanguard’s political show, “Politics Hub”, and Nigerians have been reacting.

Criticizing the APC-led administration, particularly on issues related to insurgency and economic instability, Bucknor-Akerele insisted that every attempt to weaken the opposition ahead of the 2027 elections will not work.

She added that Nigeria’s current political climate under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is a very dangerous period in the country’s history.

Her words, “Well, we are in a very dangerous political climate at the moment, we are in danger of being swamped by insurgents and then, we are also in danger of being lost economically because the economic situation is really disastrous.

Most people are finding it difficult to be able to eat one square meal a day and this is a tragic situation for us to be in.

Look at what is happening to all the political parties.

The main party is trying to infiltrate all the political parties and turn Nigeria into a one-party state and I do not think it can work.

Bola Ahmed Tinubu did not want to work with me at all because he had a different agenda to the agenda of what the AD stood for at that time.

What he wanted was somebody who would assist him in taking over the AD and because I was not ready to do that, we had our differences.

I think some people go into power for self-aggrandizement, while others go into power because they want to serve and I think that was the difference between me and the powers that be, let us put it that way.”

WOW.
