Former Governor of Jigawa State and founding member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Sule Lamido, has criticised the party’s 2023 Vice Presidential candidate, Ifeanyi Okowa, over the recent defection to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
Papers News reports that Lamido, in an interview with the BBC on Tuesday, accused President Bola Tinubu of using national resources to weaken opposition parties.
According to Lamido, Tinubu’s actions of weaponising state power to stifle opposition voices threaten Nigeria’s democracy.
