NNPP Kano Chairman Slams Tinubu Over Rivers State of Emergency, Calls It ‘Democratic Robbery’
The Chairman of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) in Kano State, Hashimu Sulaiman Dungurawa, has strongly condemned the declaration of a state of emergency in Rivers State, calling it a blatant abuse of electoral rights and a dangerous attack on democracy.
Dungurawa accused President Bola Ahmed Tinubu of displaying clear bias and undemocratic tendencies in handling the political crisis in Rivers State. According to him, the move undermines Nigeria’s electoral integrity and sets a dangerous precedent for future elections.
“The declaration of a state of emergency in Rivers State is nothing but democratic robbery,” Dungurawa stated. “President Tinubu has clearly shown his bias and undemocratic actions, which pose a serious threat to the country’s democracy.”
The NNPP, under Dungurawa’s leadership, has outrightly rejected the move, describing it as an abuse of power and a misuse of state authority to suppress political opposition. He urged Nigerians and pro-democracy advocates to resist any attempt to use executive power to manipulate electoral outcomes.
With the controversy surrounding Rivers State, political analysts warn that the NNPP’s position may further escalate tensions between opposition parties and the ruling APC, as concerns grow over the federal government’s increasing influence on state politics.
As reactions continue to pour in, Dungurawa’s stance reinforces the NNPP’s commitment to defending democracy and electoral fairness in Nigeria.
