‘ADC And Peter Obi Face-off Is A Public Confession Of Collapse’ – Lagos APC

The Lagos State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has warned that the 2027 election is not about confused coalitions or political experiments.

The Eye Opener News reports that the spokesman of the APC in Lagos State, Seye Oladejo, made this known in a statement on Tuesday, while reacting to the African Democratic Congress (ADC)’s charge to the 2023 Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, on the need to make up his mind about joining the coalition.

However, Oladejo stated that the opposition is in full-blown confusion, stressing that the ADC–Obi face-off is no longer an internal disagreement but a public confession of collapse.

Oladejo also cautioned the opposition against distracting President Bola Tinubu with what it termed “needless politicking and manufactured drama.”

According to him, while the opposition fights itself in broad daylight, APC remains focused on governance, economic recovery, security stabilisation, infrastructure expansion and national renewal under the firm and steady leadership of Tinubu.

He said, “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.

 “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.”

He noted that Obi does not want to compete but positions himself like a “panther, stalking political parties in distress to strike when desperation peaks.”

He added, “The deeper dilemma is this: Peter Obi has perfected a strange political posture – that 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 organisation, this is political lottery masquerading as strategy.”
