Nigerian intellectuals have often argued that the country is a state under capture; run by a select few military generals, who prosecuted the civil war. But in the past six months, the Nigerian state has witnessed another form of more gripping capture under the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) and the country’s new president, Bola Tinubu.
In an address in Abuja a few days ago, Dr. Salihu Lukman, former National Vice Chairman (North West) of the ruling party noted that the party itself was transforming into a “despotic organization” under the leadership of President Tinubu.
