The former presidential candidate for the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP in the 2023 election, Atiku Abubakar, has said Nigeria Senate is becoming a puppet under President Bola Tinubu’s administration.

The former vice president lamented how the people meant to protect the citizens are floating in the conspiracy of the authoritarian regime to perpetrate illegality.
