Democracy Under Threat as APC Pushes One-Party Dominance, Yabo Warns
Onuminya Innocent in Sokoto
A leading opposition figure in Sokoto State, Ambassador Faruk Malami Yabo, has accused the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) of undermining Nigeria’s democratic system through what he described as political infiltration and suppression of opposition parties.
Yabo, who recently secured his party’s Senatorial ticket ahead of the 2027 elections, made the remarks while addressing journalists and supporters in Sokoto after receiving widespread endorsements from stakeholders across the senatorial district.
He attributed the surge in public support for his candidature to citizens’ desire for “credible leadership, inclusive governance, and a clear political vision for Sokoto State,” adding that many Nigerians are dissatisfied with the current state of governance.
