Former Vice President and Presidential Candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, has condemned the arrest of Professor Usman Yusuf, a well-known social critic.
Atiku took to his X account, accusing the Tinubu administration of using state resources to silence critics and suppress opposition instead of tackling corruption. He raised concerns over the timing of Yusuf’s arrest, pointing out that the charges against him were from the previous administration.
Atiku also criticized the hypocrisy of the current government, which he claims is sheltering individuals under investigation while using state institutions to silence dissent.
He stated, “It’s clear that Tinubu’s administration is more focused on manipulating the system for political gain than addressing corruption.”
