ADC To Wike: President Tinubu Administration’s Failures Made ‘Opposition Alliance’ Unavoidable

The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has reacted to the diatribes launched against its leaders by the Minister of Federal Capital Territory, Barrister Nyesom Wike during the media parley he held in Abuja on Thursday submitting that the minister is unsettled by the growing strength of the opposition alliance that poses a serious threat to President Bola Tinubu’s re-election in 2027.

Team@orientactualmags.com learned that ADC National Publicity Secretary, Mallam Bolaji Abdullahi, who reacted to Wike’s comments in a statement he issued in Abuja on Thursday, submitted that what the minister has done will not halt the momentum of the opposition alliance.

‘The ADC has taken note of the virulent attacks launched on the leaders of the coalition movement by the Hon. Minister of Federal Capital Territory, Chief Nyesom Wike during the media parley he held today.

 Without justifying this behaviour that we find incompatible with the office of a Federal Minister, we believe that Minister Wike could only descend to that level because of his mortal fear of the threat that the successful unveiling of the coalition of opposition political parties constitutes to the government that he serves.

We observe that if Minister Wike and the government that he serves had kept their promises to the Nigerian people, the coalition movement would not have been necessary and he would not have had a need to be so jittery.

If Minister Wike had paid the salaries of primary school teachers who have been on strike for several months and if he had not treated FCT workers with so much contempt, while he goes about inaugurating white elephant projects running into billions of Naira, he would have had no need to be afraid of the coalition’ he said.

Mallam Bolaji Abdulahi added that the ‘coalition’ leaders are upset that Barrister Nyesom Wike allowed the government to use him to destroy the PDP, a party that was once a leading political force in Africa.

‘Minister Wike claimed during the media parley in question that the coalition leaders are driven only by grievances. If we have any grievances, it is the way the government he is a part of has driven majority of Nigerians into poverty and misery.

We are aggrieved to see children of the poor unable to get education because he would not pay their teachers’ salaries. We are aggrieved to watch the growing insecurity in the FCT that he superintends.

We are aggrieved that Minister Wike had allowed himself to be used by the government he serves to destroy one of the most powerful political parties in Africa, the PDP.

But it is rather too late in the day to cry. The coalition movement belongs to the Nigerian people who had been promised renewed hope, but have been served renewed hopelessness. Therefore, no amount of tirade against the leaders of the coalition could stem the tide of this popular movement’ he added-Team@orientactualmags.com  Do you have any information you wish to share with us?
