Public commentator, Professor Patrick Utomi has said Nigeria, under the current federal government, is sliding into fascism and dictatorship.
The founder of Centre for Value in Leadership, Pat Utomi said the now withdrawn Counter Subversion Bill sponsored by the House of Representatives Speaker, Tajudeen Abbas, showed the drive by the the political class to capture the country.
Utomi regretted that National Assembly members have yet to come clean on the salary controversy. He advised Nigerians to start recalling the lawmakers.
In a statement on his X handle, on Thursday, Utomi said, “What a season. The speaker wants to jail anyone who speaks ill of a politician. The National Assembly continues to lie about what they draw as emoluments for themselves from their employers, the people.
“So let the people who want to know be sent to jail. Do they realize that taking what belongs to another without permission is stealing. Can the police please do their job and arrest the National Assembly members and prosecute for stealing. If they fail the people should seek to recall the National Assembly beginning with the Senate President and Speaker.
“Let it not be said I did not warn about state capture, creeping Fascism and the criminal hijack of politics in Nigeria. The slide to Fascist dictatorship is all around us and we treat it the way the Germans treated it until it consumed them in WWII.”
