NNPP Chieftain Cautions Tinubu Against Manipulating The Judiciary

Olufemi Ajadi Oguntoyinbo, a prominent member of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), has warned President Bola Ahmed Tinubu against meddling in the judiciary’s operations.

According to Anaedoonline.ng, the Court of Appeal in Abuja dismissed NNPP governor of Kano State Abba Yusuf last Friday and proclaimed All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate Nasiru Yusuf Gawuna the victor of the March 18 election.

Oguntoyinbo, the NNPP 2023 governorship candidate in Ogun State, stated that Tinubu should permit the judiciary to operate as expected in democratic governance during a solidarity visit to Yusuf on Tuesday.

Additionally, he warned Tinubu not to coerce the judges or transform Nigeria into a one-party state, as Lagos had done.

He said, “President Bola Ahmed Tinubu should not interfere with the functions of the judiciary but instead allow the judiciary to function effectively as expected in democratic governance.

“The President should not cow the judiciary; he should realise that Nigeria is not Lagos, where he turned the state into an APC state with no functioning opposition parties.

“APC as a party and the President are too desperate to control all states in Nigeria, hence their resort to pushing the judiciary to achieve their aim of foisting on the country a one-party system.

“Last week, former Vice President Alhaji Atiku Abubakar warned the nation of the plan of the ruling APC and President Bola Tinubu to turn the country into a one-party state. I agree with Alhaji Atiku and want all other statesmen to rise up and caution President Tinubu not to turn the country to Lagos State, where he pockets everything.”
