The Lagos State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has cautioned opposition parties against hindering President Bola Tinubu’s work with what it termed “needless politicking and manufactured drama.”
Seye Oladejo, the Lagos APC spokesman, stated that the 2027 election is not a time for political experiments or confused coalitions.
His statement was a reaction to the charge made by the African Democratic Congress (ADC) urging former Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi to decide on joining the opposition coalition.
In his signed statement, Oladejo asserted that at this crucial time, the opposition must stop distracting President Tinubu. He emphasized that despite the “enormous national challenges,” the President is competently and courageously addressing them for the benefit of all Nigerians.
Oladejo noted that the APC, as the governing party, has no need to rush into electioneering, as its achievements in areas such as infrastructure, economy, security, and national reforms will serve as its strong defense when the time comes. In contrast, he claimed the opposition only offers empty slogans and recycled promises that Nigerians now recognize as deception.
While the opposition is publicly fracturing, Oladejo said the APC remains dedicated to governance, economic revival, security stabilization, infrastructure growth, and national renewal under Tinubu’s firm leadership.
He specifically warned, “2027 is not for confused coalitions, 2027 is not for political experiments, 2027 is for prepared leadership,” and labeled the public dispute between the ADC and Obi as a “confession of collapse” and opposition in “full-blown confusion.”
Oladejo further criticized Peter Obi’s political strategy, describing his posture as that of an aspirant who avoids competition and instead “waits patiently like a panther, stalking political parties in distress to strike when desperation peaks,” in hopes of receiving another “free presidential ticket.” He concluded that this approach is merely “political lottery masquerading as strategy.”
