Ajibola Basiru, the National Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has referred to President Bola Tinubu as the ‘grandmaster of coalition-building.’
Basiru expressed confidence that Tinubu would triumph over the coalition led by former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, Nasir El-Rufai, and Peter Obi of the Labour Party, asserting that Tinubu’s expertise in coalition politics makes him unbeatable.
On Tuesday night, Atiku, Obi, El-Rufai, and other opposition leaders convened to finalize the details for the official launch of the coalition.
According to Atiku, the goal of the coalition is to ensure that Tinubu does not secure reelection in 2027.
Speaking on Wednesday, El-Rufai vowed that the coalition would work to bring Tinubu back to Lagos State, effectively removing him from power.
In response, Basiru downplayed the coalition’s potential, emphasizing that Tinubu is a seasoned master in the art of coalition-building.
In a statement, he said: “They are not forming any coalition, and if they are, President Tinubu is the grandmaster of coalitions. He is a chieftain of the National Democratic Coalition, which was the mother of coalitions that helped remove the military from power.
“So, how can they use a coalition to challenge the grandmaster of coalitions? Our party is also well-versed in forming alliances.
“We were the first party to form a congress made up of major political parties. Nigerians should be aware that the lies they told about winning the 2023 election are now coming to light.
“If indeed they believe they won the 2023 election, why are they talking about a coalition for 2027? They should just go back to their political parties.
“But the truth is that they lost the 2023 election, and by the grace of Almighty God, they will lose the 2027 election as well, President Tinubu of the APC will win.
“This so-called arrangement or coalition is not driven by love for Nigeria but by inordinate ambition and a sense of entitlement.”
