The All Progressives Congress (APC) in the Southwest geo-politcal zone has disclosed that orchestrated efforts being made by some politicians to unseat President Bola Tinubu in 2027 were mere distractions and comedy shows aimed at derailing the ongoing Nigerian Project codenamed the Renewed Hope Agenda.
Recall that, recently, some political players made public their readiness to forge a common front in their desire to dislodge the APC government at the centre in a manner similar to how the same APC sent the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) government led by Dr. Goodluck Jonathan away from power in 2015 after winning that year’s presidential election in what was said be an unprecedented political development.
In a statement issued at the weekend and made available to journalists by the Publicity Secretary in the Southwest, Mr. Ayobami Afolabi, APC said the current crop of anti-Tinubu crusaders have nothing to offer Nigeria and Nigerians as they are failed politicians who lack ideas on how to add value having contributed to the augean stables which the present administration is cleansing.
“It is obvious that those behind the ill-conceived coalition against the Tinubu administration ahead of the 2027 presidential election are people who should be remorseful on account of their individual or collective contributions to the socio-economic and political challenges which the country is now struggling to overcome.
These are former vice president, governors, ministers, top political appointees and heads of MDAs whose scorecards are nothing to write home about and they still want to return to power.
“As a matter of fact, this set of people know that President Bola Tinubu is doing well but the spirit of self entitlement, self aggrandizement and insincerity in them would always get the better of them.
“Fortunately, most Nigerians have come to realize that President Tinubu has come to put the country on the right track of prosperity, stability and sustainable growth as evident in the bold steps which he has been taking to fix the country.
“However, it is still not late for the sponsors of the alliance against Tinubu to realize the errors in their anti-people activities since it is certain that they cannot succeed in their mission going by the small sample which voters showed them in the recent by-elections conducted across 12 states in which the APC had more than 75 per cent of the total numbers of state and federal legislative seats contested.
“Our dear President cannot be distracted as he is poised to succeed in his mission beyond 2027.” Afolabi added.
