Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar’s advisor Paul Ibeh described President Bola Tinubu’s administration as a “civil dictatorship.”
He made this assertion on Wednesday’s The Morning Brief on Channels Television.
He claimed that major opposition figures were being urged to save the nation from its current state, including Abubakar, who was the Peoples Democratic Party’s candidate for president in 2023.
Because of the current civil dictatorship that we have, Atiku Abubakar and other leaders are being asked to restore Nigeria.
The rest of them, you may know, were military dictatorships, and these people are likely sporting “agbada” and suit after all, but they are not. They are worse than “Ibeh,” a military dictatorship.
Since Nyesom Wike, the minister of the Federal Capital Territory, could work with President Tinubu’s government while also being a member of the opposition PDP, he claimed there was no justification for coalition members from leaving the party.
In light of the zoning controversy, Atiku questioned whether he could become the coalition’s sole candidate. “This coalition will stand to benefit from all of his experiences over the years. They are not therefore focused on the selection of the presidential candidate and anything else.

Ibeh further refutes claims that Atiku threw the PDP into a debacle following the party’s primary for the 2023 presidential election.
He claims Wike worked against Atiku in the presidential election rather than working for the PDP. He lost in an open primary for president.
He also accused the minister of stifling efforts to address the PDP’s crisis.
Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar and former Senate President David Mark are among the concerned leaders of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) who have appealed for Nigerians to join them in urging President Bola Tinubu to step down in 2027.
Following a closed-door meeting to discuss the state of the PDP and the nation, they called on Tuesday in Abuja.
They urged all PDP members and Nigerians to form a broad coalition that is united in a statement released after the meeting, which is also committed to economic recovery, national security, democratic principles, security, and a strong fight against corruption.
