The Lagos state chapter of the All Progressives Congress, APC, has replied a former Speaker of the House of Representatives, Aminu Tambuwal over his recent remark that Nigerians have reached a consensus to unseat President Bola Ahmed Tinubu from office in 2027.
The former Speaker had while speaking on Channels Television programme Politics Today said the quest to oust President Tinubu from power, through democratic means, is not being instigated by only northerners. According Tambuwal, a former governor of Lagos state Nigerians have made up their minds to replace Tinubu with another leader through ‘national consensus.”
Reacting in a statement on Sunday, the state APC spokesman of , Mogaji Seye Oladejo, said Nigerians are waiting to re-validate the good governance under President Tinubu in the next presidential election.
According to him, the opposition coalition party that the former governor belongs has not been able to put their house in order, as key leaders in the party are only pursuing personal ambitions, and are not prepared to concede the presidential ticket to one another.
Oladejo said it “will be a cold day in hell’ for key leaders in the opposition talks, such as, former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, Peter Obi, Nasir El rufai, Rotimi Amaechi to concede the 2027 presidential ticket to each other, as they are not concerned on how to develop the country, but are only driven by greed for power and bloated ego, adding that their interest are in conflict with the generality of Nigerians.
The spokesman said, “Even more amusing is the opposition’s endless talk of “consensus” ahead of 2027. We watch with close interest as they struggle to build what will be, no doubt, an elusive alliance – sabotaged by their own greed, inflated egos, unbridled desperation for power, and self-righteousness.
“It will be a cold day in hell before the likes of Peter Obi, Atiku Abubakar, Goodluck Jonathan,Nasir El-Rufai, Rotimi Amaechi, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso and others concede to one another.
“Their ambitions are incompatible, their interests conflicting, and their loyalty lies only in the direction of personal advantage.
“We, the ruling party, wait with bated breath as the comedy movie hits cinemas nationwide. Nigerians are watching too – popcorn in hand.”
He stressed that Nigerians had “overwhelmingly” rejected the opposition in the 2023 election, as people of all faith, creed and background voted for Tinubu, adding that they will do so again by rejection the opposition in 2027, to prove that they are happy with the president’s efforts to stabilizes the country through the legacy projects he has embark on in the administration’s efforts to fix the country.
“Nigerians overwhelmingly rejected the opposition in 2023 to continue to support a government that is focused on performance, not propaganda,” he said.
Adding that “President Bola Ahmed Tinubu was not imposed. He was elected by Nigerians from every region, faith, and background.
“Unlike the noise-makers in the opposition, he has hit the ground running. From economic stabilisation efforts to legacy infrastructure projects, the Renewed Hope Agenda is already yielding visible results.
“Halfway into his first term, the entire nation is beginning to appreciate the clarity, courage, and competence of his administration.”
The magazine had earlier reported that Tambuwal is a member of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, the adopted political party by major opposition leaders in the country planing to unseat Tinubu and the ruling APC in the next presidential election.
