APC Predicts Collapse of Opposition Coalition Against Tinubu’s Re-election

The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Lagos State has claimed that moves by opposition parties to form a coalition against President Bola Tinubu’s re-election bid will soon collapse.

The party’s spokesman, Seye Oladejo, made the assertion in a statement issued on Friday, saying the coalition talks lack cohesion and are being undermined by competing personal ambitions among opposition leaders.

According to Oladejo, the proposed alliance is unstable and driven largely by power struggles rather than a shared vision for the country.

“What is being marketed as a coalition is, in reality, a congregation of serial presidential aspirants, each unwilling to subordinate ego to collective purpose,” he said.

He added that the opposition grouping lacks ideological clarity, moral cohesion and a unifying national agenda beyond the pursuit of power.

“From the outset, this assemblage has lacked ideological glue, moral cohesion, or a shared vision for Nigeria beyond a desperate fixation on power. Coalitions thrive on compromise; this one suffocates under entitlement,” Oladejo stated.

The APC spokesman further argued that beneath the public optimism surrounding the talks lies a fragile arrangement weighed down by personal ambitions, mutual distrust and irreconcilable differences.

Oladejo maintained that public ultimatums and preconditions set by opposition figures have exposed deep divisions within the coalition.

He noted that demands for guaranteed presidential or vice-presidential tickets have taken precedence over genuine consensus-building, while repeated appeals urging supporters to stop attacking one another reflect worsening internal hostility among opposition leaders.
