A former Aviation Minister, Hadi Sirika, on Wednesday denied reports linking him to the opposition Coalition plotting President Bola Tinubu’s ousting in 2027.
Some other Ministers who served under late President Muhammadu Buhari such as Rotimi Ameachi, and, Rauf Aregbesola, Abubakar Malami, are strong members of the Coalition working to wrestle power from President Tinubu in 2027. They are doing so under the African Democratic Congress, ADC.
The former Minister made the clarification when he appeared on Channels TV’s Morning Brief.
He said he had no involvement in the group and will never be a part of it, and emphasized that he would never be part of any Coalition that seeks to remove President Tinubu from office.
When asked to clear the air on the reports of his alleged involvement then, Sirika intoned, “No, I am not.
Yesterday, I was with Chief Bayo Onanuga in the Presidential Villa and he said I was in the coalition. I told him I was not, and never will be. He said he got that from the reports. People can join coalition, it is democracy,” he added.
Similarly, he also clarifued the purpose of his recent visit to Aso Rock. He explained that the visit was to officially pay condolences to President Tinubu following the demise of the former President, Muhammadu Buhari.
He said, “The purpose of the meeting was to officially pay our condolences to the President who did extremely well after the demise of our leader, President Muhammadu Buhari.”
Sirika is regarded as a staunch Buhari inner circle member. Members proudly refer to themselves as Buharists.
