“Battle to unseat Tinubu a national consensus, not northern conspiracy “-Tambuwal
By Mogaji (Hon) Seye Oladejo
The Lagos State Chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has noted with justified amusement the recent statement by former Sokoto State Governor and PDP chieftain, Rt. Hon. Aminu Tambuwal, in which he claimed that the so-called “battle to unseat President Bola Ahmed Tinubu” is a “national consensus” and not a “northern conspiracy.”
This is yet another failed attempt to rewrite the obvious truth: Nigerians overwhelmingly rejected the opposition in 2023 and continue to support a government that is focused on performance, not propaganda.
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu was not imposed – he was elected by Nigerians from every region, faith, and background.
And unlike the noise-makers in the opposition, he has hit the ground running. From economic stabilization efforts to legacy infrastructure projects, the Renewed Hope Agenda is already yielding visible results.
Halfway into his first term, the entire nation is beginning to appreciate the clarity, courage, and competence of his administration.
Let it be known: there is no national consensus to unseat President Tinubu. What is emerging is a national consensus to support good governance – and when the time comes in 2027, Nigerians will not hesitate to reaffirm their trust in a leader who delivers.
As for Tambuwal, he would do well to concentrate on clearing his name before the anti-graft agencies, which still have open questions regarding his tenure as Governor of Sokoto State.
Recent revelations have not painted him in a flattering light, and no amount of press statements can launder the trail of allegations surrounding his stewardship.
Even more amusing is the opposition’s endless talk of “consensus” ahead of 2027. We watch with close interest as they struggle to build what will be, no doubt, an elusive alliance – sabotaged by their own greed, inflated egos, unbridled desperation for power, and self-righteousness.
It will be a cold day in hell before the likes of Peter Obi, Atiku Abubakar, Goodluck Jonathan,Nasir El-Rufai, Rotimi Amaechi, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso and others concede to one another.
Their ambitions are incompatible, their interests conflicting, and their loyalty lies only in the direction of personal advantage.
We, the ruling party, wait with bated breath as the comedy movie hits cinemas nationwide. Nigerians are watching too – popcorn in hand.
In the meantime, the APC remains focused on delivering for the Nigerian people. While the opposition plays musical chairs and media politics, we are building roads, creating jobs, fixing power, reforming the economy, and laying the foundation for a stronger, more prosperous Nigeria.
