Former Minister of Aviation, Femi Fan-Kayode, has said President Bola Tinubu should not be blamed as Nigeria heads towards a one-party state.

Fani-Kayode made this statement amid a wave of defections of opposition politicians to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

According to him, the opposition brought their misfortune on themselves due to their weakness and cowardice.

He wrote on social media, "The APC is the most united and focused party in the history of our country. The opposition forces are the weakest, most fragmented, most indisciplined, most cowardly, most incompetent, most confused, most divided and most badly led in our entire history.

"They are truly pitiful and pathetic and they are getting more demystified and diminished at both the Federal and state level by the day. Is it any wonder that we are heading towards a one-party state?

"Don't blame President Bola Tinubu for that but rather blame the opposition who cannot even hold a NEC or National caucus meeting without insults, rancour and exchanging blows.

"Are these the clowns that want to take over power at the centre in 2027? You can't even hold your respective parties together and instead of attempting to do so you are busy running up and down shamelessly to find a platform in the name of some far-fetched and illusionary alliance.

"You have put your personal ambitions before the collective interest of our nation and your respective parties and that, coupled with your crass arrogance, vaulting ambition and insufferable pride, is what has led to your downfall.

"Hubris ALWAYS leads to nemesis! I can't wait till 2027 so that we can bury you all over again only this time it will be for good."
