Former NHIS boss, Prof. Usman Yusuf, has accused President Tinubu of trying to create a one-party state, warning it could erode Nigeria’s fragile democracy.
- Prof. Yusuf claims Tinubu’s administration is sidelining opposition parties.
- He warns of creeping authoritarianism under the guise of democracy.
- The APC's dominance in national politics is raising fresh concerns.
- Yusuf urges citizens to defend democratic institutions and freedoms.
- The Presidency has yet to officially respond to these allegations.
At a time when Nigerians are grappling with economic and security crises, new fears over political monopolisation could further deepen public distrust. Prof. Yusuf’s warning reflects growing unease among critics who believe true democracy relies on vibrant opposition, not dominance by a single party. Whether these concerns gain traction could shape political discourse heading into 2026.
