ADC Chieftain has accused President Tinubu of ‘witch-hunting’ the opposition while shielding APC members from prosecution.
Brand News Day Nigeria reports that a chieftain of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Idris Kalgo, has accused the President Bola Tinubu-led government of targeting opposition members for investigations, while shielding ruling APC politicians.
Speaking on Trust TV, Kalgo questioned why there is a selective enforcement of investigations forced against opposition members in Nigeria.
“Why is it only ADC members who are being pursued?” he asked.
Kalgo further criticised what he described as a double standard, pointing out that members of the ruling APC appear immune from scrutiny, while ADC members face arrests and investigations.
The ADC Chieftain said, “As long as you are a member of the APC, you are safe. You are not corrupt. But the moment you leave, you are suddenly labelled corrupt and targeted.”
Kalgo cited examples of politicians who switched parties without repercussions, including Dr Ifeanyi Okowa, former running mate to Atiku Abubakar in the 2023 elections, who joined the APC but continues to face no active legal consequences.
“Where is he now?” Kalgo asked.
The ADC Chieftain also referenced former APC governors, including Yahaya Bello, questioning why no immediate actions have been taken against them despite various allegations.
“We have seen attempts at arrests, even at airports, but ultimately they remain free. Why is democracy applied selectively?” he said.
“People are tired of poor governance. Nigerians want their voices heard, and leaders should allow democracy to flow,” Kalgo said.
According to Kalgo, the crackdown on ADC members is a strategic move to slow down opposition momentum ahead of the 2027 elections.
“These people are capable of challenging power. That’s why they are afraid,” he asserted.
