Atiku Abubakar, who was Vice President before and ran for President with PDP, has spoken up about the arrest of Professor Usman Yusuf, who often speaks up about problems in society.
According to a report by Vanguard, writing on X (formerly Twitter), Atiku said President Tinubu is using government power to shut up people who disagree with him, instead of actually stopping corruption.
“It’s clear that Tinubu’s administration is more focused on manipulating the system for political gain than addressing corruption,” Atiku wrote in his post.
Atiku pointed out something odd about when they arrested Professor Yusuf. The charges against him came from things that happened when the last government was in power. He also said it was wrong that some people being looked into for wrongdoing are protected by the government, while others who speak up against the government are being targeted.
The arrest has made many people worried about how the government treats those who don’t agree with it. People are asking if this is really about stopping bad behavior, or if it’s just a way to scare people who criticize the government.
This isn’t the first time Atiku has said something about how Tinubu runs things. He keeps saying the government is trying to control everything and stop people from speaking freely. The arrest of Professor Yusuf seems to have made these worries bigger.
Some people who watch politics say this might show a pattern of the government going after its critics. They say it’s worth paying attention to how the government treats people who don’t agree with it.
The whole thing has started big talks about freedom to speak up in Nigeria. People are asking if you can still safely say what you think about the government without getting in trouble.
What makes this even more interesting is that while some people are being arrested, others who might have done wrong things but support the government aren’t being touched. This different treatment of different people has made many Nigerians ask questions.Tap Here for the Full Story
The timing of the arrest is also making people think. Why now? Why not when these things first happened? These questions are making more people wonder if this is really about justice or just politics.
