The Tinubu Media Volunteers (TMV) have upbraided the newly formed coalition under the umbrella of the Africa Democratic Congress for assembling a group of retired and tired politicians with diverse ideological leanings.
In a statement signed by its Chairman, Chukwudi Enekwechi, and Secretary, Segun Ogedengbe, TMV argued that it was clear that their intent had nothing to do with national interest.
“We note that despite the coalition embarking on a rudderless political journey, the President Bola Tinubu administration has, in its democratic culture, availed them the needed democratic space to thrive.
“It is noted that without the democratic credentials of President Tinubu, the coalition would have sunk into oblivion at its inception.
“We therefore sound a note of warning that based on the strange and diverse political tendencies of the political gladiators in the coalition, they should not put any blame on the doorstep of President Tinubu when they start falling apart based on some members’ inordinate ambition.
“As the 2027 general elections approach, and with the coalition unfolding, we have observed that the key players have come with their ambitions, and therefore are heading to be torn to shreds.
“As we anticipate, these tendencies will be extremely difficult for them to manage, and their division should not be blamed on President Tinubu.
“This is an unholy alliance and unusual partnership, and that highlights the oddity of their connection. It is going to fall like a pack of cards.”
“For the umpteenth time, we want to reassure Nigerians that the President remains a consummate democrat focused on advancing democratic tenets in the country, and will do all in his power to promote pluralism in party politics.”
The group added that the coalition leaders should be mindful of their different political ideologies ahead of the 2027 general elections and not shift blame for any shortcomings.
