The Presidency has described leaders of the anti-Tinubu coalition as desperate politicians hungry for power for selfish ends.
Bayo Onanuga, the Special Adviser on Information and Strategy to President Bola Tinubu, in a statement issued on Thursday urged Nigerians to be wary of the opposition coalition.
The coalition had on Tuesday announced its adoption of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, as the platform on which to contest the 2027 elections.
Among the leaders of the coalition are former vice president Atiku Abubakar, former Senate president David Mark, who was named as interim national chairman, former Osun State governor Rauf Aregbesola, also named as interim national secretary of the ADC,
former Kaduna State governor, Nasir El-Rufai, former Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, former Rivers governor, Chibuike Amaechi and former Attorney General of the Federation and minister of justice, among several others.
“My advice to Nigerians: Keep your eyes wide open. A political party with no clear agenda or ideology — whose members are united only by their hatred for President Tinubu— cannot be good for our country. It will only set us back by decades,”. Onanuga said.
“These politicians are desperados, hungry for power, not for the benefit of Nigerians but for themselves. They want power at all costs because they cannot endure another four years in the political wilderness or be banished to political winter and irrelevance.
“What is certain is that the group will soon unravel due to their irreconcilable personal ambitions.”
