Nigerian media entrepreneur, digital strategist and author Japheth J Omojuwa has slammed leaders of the opposition coalition under the platform of the African Democratic Congress (ADC).
The writer, in a post on his X account mocked members of the coalition for attempting to recreate the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Describing them as desperate politicians, Omojuwa predicted that the coalition would fail because of the obvious mutual distrust by its members.
“They were so desperate to recreate the APC effect of 2013. Failed at source. You cannot recreate everything that organically came together to make the APC happen. To start with, the palpable mutual distrust in the ADC sets it up for failure.
“A presidential hopeful telling his followers how tough it was to align with people he wants them to believe are strange bed fellows. His lieutenant, the very statue of hypocrisy, claiming they needed their vindictiveness to gain power,” Omojuwa wrote.
Furthermore, the digital strategist highlighted the difference between the formation of the APC and the new coalition saying, “This was not a political party swallowing up an unworthy desperate group of a headless mob in marriage with the same people they said had downed the Nigerian ship since 2015.
“When APC formed, everyone left their fake righteousness at the door. These ones are still desperately trying to hold on to what they don’t have, just so they can keep the herd in line.”
Notable leaders from diverse opposition parties, on Wednesday, formed a coalition to challenge President Bola Tinubu and the ruling party, APC in the 2027 general elections.
