Mike Ozekhome, senior advocate of Nigeria (SAN), says Nigeria is “gradually driving towards a one-party state” and dictatorship.

Recently, there have been waves of politicians defecting to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

The latest defection was that of Uno Emo, governor of Akwa Ibom, who joined APC from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

Ozekhome described the gale of defections as “bootlicking at its highest level”.

He warned that Nigeria is moving towards one-party state and, by extension, dictatorship.

“People are falling over themselves to endorse the president, who has not been allowed to do his job over two years,” the SAN said.
