WATCH THE VIDEO HERE FORMER Vice President Atiku Abubakar has lamented the political situation in the country, warning that Nigeria could slide into a one-party system. Atiku, in a message to commemorate Nigeria’s 64th Independence anniversary on Tuesday, urged the political elite to unite and safeguard the country’s democracy. “Nigeria teeters on the brink of a one-party dictatorship, and it is incumbent upon all politicians and statesmen of integrity to rise and reclaim our democracy from the encroaching shadows of oppression,” he stated. “Our political milieu has become corrosive; opposition parties languish in weakness, while the ruling party appears to manipulate internal processes to render them ineffectual. “It is deeply regrettable that our current landscape reflects a troubling decline in electoral credibility, increasingly manipulated by those in power.”
