You Are Pushing Nigeria Toward a One-Party State, It Won’t Work” — Oyo Governor Seyi Makinde Warns President Tinubu Amid Political Defections Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde has cautioned President Bola Tinubu against actions he says could push Nigeria toward a one-party state, warning that such a move would undermine the country’s federal structure and multi-party democracy. Speaking during a media chat, Makinde said Nigeria was founded on two non-negotiable principles—federalism and political pluralism—and abandoning them could threaten national stability. Addressing recent defections and internal crises within the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), the governor insisted he remains unmoved and opposed to weakening the opposition.

Just In: Senate chambers buzzed with tension as Senate President Godswill Akpabio reportedly told fellow senators that “Donald Trump is on our necks”— insisting that the U.S. is watching closely and already thre@tening action against Nigeria over rising terror!sm concerns. According to political analyst Okwy Chris, this is exactly why Gen. Christopher Musa was quickly appointed as Nigeria’s new Defence Minister. His words were sharp: “Nigerians, now you can see the real reason Gen. Musa was made Defence Minister. He’s the man they believe can clean up the m3ss they created. These leaders fear America, not the Nigerians they sn@tched p0wer from.” This development has stirred major conversations nationwide — especially with the idea that international pressure, not internal accountability, is what finally forces Nigerian leaders to “do the right thing.” Is this the wake-up call the government needs? Nigeria may be entering a new phase of global scrutiny — and the world is watching. Do you think America’s pressure will actually make Nigerian leaders act right, or will it change nothing?
