Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>A Yoruba socio-cultural organization, Afenifere, has alleged that President Bola Tinubu is sliding into fascism reminiscent of Gen Sani Abacha\u2019s days.<\/p>\n

The National Publicity Secretary of the group, Justice Faloye, made this statement on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Afenifere also revealed plans to create a political group to challenge the ruling government in the 2027 general election.<\/p>\n

Faloye described President Tinubu\u2019s administration since May 29, 2023, as a colossal failure, accusing it of harassing perceived opponents.<\/p>\n

He said Afenifere is concerned about the administration\u2019s direction, noting that it is not only the NLC President who is being harassed but also hundreds of people who are jailed for participating in hunger protests.<\/p>\n

According to the group, the economy has completely collapsed under the present administration, with outspoken critics being arrested and detained.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have criminalization of protest under Tinubu, where peaceful protesters are threatened, harassed, attacked, arrested, and detained unjustly. What do you call all these other than fascism?<\/p>\n

\u201cEven the international community has accused Tinubu of criminalizing peaceful protests in a democratic dispensation and condemned the trend.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is unacceptable. This is not democracy anymore. We are sliding into fascism.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have urged President Tinubu to heed the advice of Professor Wole Soyinka regarding fascism,\u201d the group said.<\/p>\n
