Lawyer and activist, Barrister Dele Farotimi, has taken a swipe at supporters of the All Progressives Congress (APC), accusing them of aiding and abetting bad governance in Nigeria.
In a strongly worded post on X (formerly Twitter) on Friday, Farotimi urged members of the ruling party to reflect on their actions and consider the moral weight of their political choices.
“If you support the APC, examine yourself. Summon your humanity and conscience to conclaves, be reminded of your mortality, imagine your immortal soul before the throne of God, and remember that you were told; you are an accomplice to evil,” he wrote.
Farotimi, a well-known critic of the government, has repeatedly accused the APC of worsening Nigeria’s challenges, particularly in the areas of poverty, insecurity, and economic hardship.
The APC has been in power since 2015, when former president Muhammadu Buhari defeated incumbent Goodluck Jonathan to become Nigeria’s leader.
