He raised concern over what he described as pressure on Bauchi State Governor Bala Mohammed and Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde, saying such actions weaken Nigeria’s federal system and shrink political space.
George called on the Independent National Electoral Commission to protect the integrity of elections, insisting that votes must count and that disputes linked to election outcomes must stop.
He urged the Tinubu administration to change course, warning that heavy taxes and shrinking opposition space could harm democracy, adding that leadership should focus on easing hardship and protecting political freedoms.
