Julius Abure, the National Chairman of the Labour Party (LP), has expressed regret over the recent presidential election’s evidence that Nigeria is heading closer to tyranny.
Abure made the statement while charging that the Federal Government, led by President Bola Tinubu, was trying to stifle its nominee for president, Peter Obi.
He pointed out that the Supreme Court’s decision on the presidential election demonstrated how the administration had taken control of the legislative and courts.

He emphasised that in a short period of time, Nigerians have forgotten the teachings taught by their ancestors.
A statement by Abure reads partly: “However, there are great lessons to be learnt. What transpired in Nigeria since the February 25 presidential election is a clear testament that our institutions are not working and that we may be sliding towards dictatorship. It is very clear that the executive has hijacked both the judiciary and the legislature. This is so unfortunate for our democracy, and it is even more for the people of Nigeria.
“All what our forebearers taught us has been destroyed within a short space of time because of the Unbridled ambition of a few. The founding fathers fought with their lives to achieve independence for the country. People lost their lives for the struggle to keep our democracy and all these years people have been struggling to achieve electoral and constitutional reforms. Regrettably, all of these efforts and struggles have been destroyed today.

“It is also pertinent to put on record that we have it on very good authority that the government may have marked some Labour Party’s key leaders, myself especially and our Leader and Presidential candidate Mr Peter Obi in particular for vilification, in order to suppress the party, suffocate our team, and our goal of a new Nigeria. The planned persecution, intimidation, suppression and harassment of our leaders using security agencies and all other government institutions will be definitely defended.”
Abure stressed that the battle for a New Nigeria will undoubtedly be difficult and painful, and he asked the members of LP and the Obidient family to remain watchful and prepared for the difficulties that lie ahead.
