The Acting National Chairman of Labour Party Nenadi has mocked president Bola Tinubu over the All progressive party APC recent fight in North East.
A statement signed by her in Abuja, describes his actions as far beneath what’s expected of a democratic leader, worrying for the essential pillars of democratic engagement.
It adds that president who celebrates the weakening of opposition, is by extension, celebrating the weakening of democracy itself.
“Today, we witness the irony of history in motion. Just days after the President’s unguarded and undemocratic remarks, his own party, the APC, has descended into a public crisis in the North East” Senator Usman states.
“In their reckless bid to enforce a one-man agenda without regard for process, respect, or even the dignity of their own Vice President, the APC has exposed that they are rot at the core of their politics. The people of the North East rejected the charade, and the fallout is now visible for all to see smuggled party officials, a fractured house, and a nation watching”
The statement explains that what happened in North East is not poetic justice but political karma adding that what President Tinubu wished for others has turned to plague his own political household.
It stresses that the attempt to undermine Vice President Kashim Shettima in his own region is not just a sign of internal decay, but a dangerous signal to the nation that loyalty, dignity, and truth are traded cheaply in the corridors of power.
“Let it be known: democracy thrives not when power is consolidated, but when it is contested with responsibility and honour.
“We in the Labour Party will not gloat, but we will stand firm. This moment should be a mirror to the President, a time for deep reflection, not petty celebration. Nigeria deserves better than the politics of sabotage and suppression” she notes
“To every Nigerian watching: the time has come to look beyond the noise and choose leadership rooted in humility, truth, and national interest. We remain steadfast in our commitment to building a nation where opposition is not persecuted but protected as a vital sign of our collective democratic health” Senator Usman adds
Recall the president had recently mocked the opposition, gleefully declaring his joy at what he described as our moment of disarray.
