A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Osun State, Hon. Olatunbosun Oyintiloye, has criticised the ratings of President Bola Tinubu’s performance in the last two years by some prominent members of the opposition parties.
Oyintiloye, a member of the defunct APC Presidential Campaign Council (PCC), who stated this while speaking with newsmen on Sunday in Osogbo, said the ongoing move by the leaders of the opposition parties to join forces against President Bola Tinubu’s re-election in the 2027 general elections will fail.
He said the likes of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate in the 2023 presidential election Peter Obi, and the former governor of Kaduna state Nasir El Rufai and others should not waste their resources on the already failed project but rather join Tinubu’s quest in the ongoing Renewed Hope Agenda for the country.
“Over the last seventy years, the Nigerian political landscape has witnessed numerous attempts at coalition-building, often driven by a desire to consolidate power and challenge dominant parties.
“However, history has consistently shown that these coalitions rarely succeed. So, forming a successful alliance in Nigeria requires more than shared opposition.
“it demands unity, strategic compromise, and long-term cohesion. The motives must be altruistic, not parochial or selfish, and they must embrace the management of peace and conflict, which are paramount and essential.
“But critically looking at the ongoing coalition against the president, those involved are only interested in using the platform to revive their failing political careers”, he said.
