.says Tinubu ready to overcome nation's challenges for collective betterment of Nigerians
By Our Reporter
The Lagos State chapter of the All Progressives Congress, APC, has cautioned the opposition against distracting President Bola Tinubu with what it termed "needless politicking and manufactured drama," declaring pointedly that there was no dispute about the enormous national challenges before the nation, and that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu remained steadily, courageously and competently poised to overcome them for the collective betterment of Nigerians.
Spokesperson of the Lagos State chapter of APC, Hon. Seye Oladejo, said this in statement, copy of which was made available to newsmen on Tuesday, in reaction to the Action Democratic Congress (ADC) charge to former Labour Party (LP) Presidential Candidate, Mr. Peter Obi on the need to make up his mind about joining the coalition.
The ruling party, while cautioning that 2027 was not about confused coalitions or political experiments, further declared that it had no reason to jump the gun on electioneering, affirming that its numerous achievements across infrastructure, economy, security, social investment, education, health, transportation and national reforms would speak loudly for it at the appropriate time.
This was just as it noted that the opposition, on the other hand, had nothing to offer but recycled slogans, empty promises and deceptions that Nigerians can now see through with clarity and experience.
"At this critical juncture, it has become expedient to warn the opposition to stop distracting Bola Ahmed Tinubu with needless politicking and manufactured drama. There is no dispute about the enormous national challenges before the nation, and President Tinubu remains steadily, courageously and competently poised to overcome them for the collective betterment of Nigerians.
"The All Progressives Congress (APC), as the ruling party, has no reason to jump the gun on electioneering. Our numerous achievements across infrastructure, economy, security, social investment, education, health, transportation and national reforms will speak loudly for us at the appropriate time.
"The opposition, on the other hand, has nothing to offer but recycled slogans and empty promises - deceptions that Nigerians can now see through with clarity and experience," APC stated.
APC, while identifying ADC as a political party that cannot decide its soul, direction or destination and now wanted to decide the fate of Nigeria, said what Nigerians were witnessing is not opposition politics, but "a public quarrel inside a hollow coalition of contradictions."
"Today, they reject zoning.
Tomorrow, they beg for relevance.
Next, they issue ultimatums to the same man they once paraded as their poster boy based on some warped assumptions.
"What exactly do they want? Power without structure? Victory without a plan? Leadership without clarity.
"Let the records show it clearly, 2027 is not for confused coalitions, 2027 is not for political experiments, 2027 is for prepared leadership.
“The ADC–Obi face-off is no longer an internal disagreement. It is now a public confession of collapse. Opposition in full-blown confusion, indeed,” the party said.
Speaking further, the ruling APC, while describing ADC as a coalition without democracy, without fairness and without future as well a political engineering tailor-made to fail, alleged that Obi had perfected a strange political posture "of a presidential aspirant who hardly competes, but rather positions and waits patiently like a panther, stalking political parties in distress to strike when desperation peaks."
"With the unwieldy number of political parties in Nigeria, there is no prize for successfully guessing that, just like the 2023 Presidential Elections, another free presidential ticket - like political manna - is being patiently awaited to fall mysteriously on Obi’s lap.
"This is not political organization.
This is political lottery masquerading as strategy," the party said.
Oladejo, however, assured that while the opposition fights itself in broad daylight, APC remained focused on governance, economic recovery, security stabilization, infrastructure expansion and national renewal under the firm and steady leadership of President Tinubu.
The party chieftain said the record should be made clear that 2027 is not for confused coalitions or political experiments, but for prepared leadership, declaring that the ADC - Obi face-off is no longer an internal disagreement, but
now a public confession of collapse.
