The lawyer spoke in a chat with Channels TV’s ‘ on Saturday.
Recently, there have been waves of politicians defecting to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
The latest defection was that of Uno Emo, governor of Akwa Ibom, who joined APC from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Ozekhome described the gale of defections as “bootlicking at its highest level”.
He warned that Nigeria is moving towards one-party state and, by extension, dictatorship.
“People are falling over themselves to endorse the president, who has not been allowed to do his job over two years,” the SAN said.
“Crosscarpeting by governor’s who won on the platform throwing all morals and decency to the wind and then crossing over to the opposition party. They are like Akara and Moi Moi; they are the same.
“We are gradually driving, without knowing it, towards a one-party state. And it is a dangerous move because in a one party state, dictatorship reigns supreme.”
