When a Nation Bends Its Laws for One Man: Nigeria’s Dangerous Path

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s tenure has seen the constitution, courts, and the electoral commission reshaped to shield him from challenge. From removing certificate forgery as a disqualifier to downgrading Abuja’s special status, from sidelining election technology to blocking fresh evidence, each twist bends the law in his favor. Even past controversies and new court seats were managed through procedural tricks. By quietly amending laws and rulings, we risk a republic built on impunity. I remain Linzo, calling on every citizen to defend our laws and demand leaders who serve, not control.
