In other news, A key member of the African Democratic Congress, ADC coalition, Senator Aminu Tambuwal, has accused President Bola Tinubu’s administration of being involved in the destabilisation of the opposition in Nigeria.
He made the remarks on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Friday.
Tambuwal said: “If I’m invited by the police I will appear; the interpretation and reading of meaning into the invitation is totally a different ball game altogether.
“Police need to be very circumspect going forward and I can’t say that they are wrong in the invitation.
“We are all sensible and when you look at what is happening in various political parties in Nigeria today, you don’t need to be told the amount of denial that they, including Tinubu, are involved in destabilising efforts of opposition parties.
“I’m saying that they are involved in efforts aimed at destabilising the opposition. I’m saying they are involved in the destabilisation efforts.
“I’m shocked that under Tinubu’s watch, Nigeria is being run the way it’s run today and I can’t say that I’m disappointed because I campaigned against him.”
