Media adviser to former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, Paul Ibe, has reacted to the alleged illegal demolition of a company belonging to a younger brother of the 2023 presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Peter Obi.
Naijaonpoint understands that the Lagos State Government pulled down the property in the Ikeja area of the state.
Peter Obi had, in a statement on Tuesday, lamented the unlawful demolition of his brother’s property.
In a post via 𝕏 on Wednesday, Paul Ibe stated that Peter Obi’s brother’s predicament is due to the ‘sins’ of the former Governor of Anambra State, for daring to contest the 2023 election and stripping the Lagos State emperor naked in his domain.
Atiku’s aide further stated that the country is witnessing a dictatorship.
He wrote, “I thought the so-called progressives said the 2023 politicking season is over, paving the way for governance.
“However, their actions suggest otherwise. Every step they’ve taken since May 29, 2023, reeks of politics.
“The same strategy of divide and rule, bigoted and tribal politics that powered their campaign in 2023 in Lagos and elsewhere is the playbook they’ve continued to adopt in what is supposed to be a season of governance. Meanwhile, the well-being of Nigerians is at an all-time low while insecurity is rife.
“How can any reasonable person explain the destruction of the property of the brother of @PeterObi in the Ikeja area of Lagos State. It is obvious that the brother of Obi is being visited by the “sins” of the former presidential candidate of the Labour Party in daring to run in 2023 and stripping the emperor of Lagos naked in his own domain.
“What we are witnessing now is dictatorship 2.0, which makes the jackboot military dictatorship of the past a child’s play. It looks like some people learnt a thing or two from Abacha’s mentorship.
“Today, it is the destruction of the property of the brother of Peter Obi. Tomorrow, it may be the property or even the life of your own brother or sister that may be at risk.”
