Wednesday, October 22, 2025 - Lagos State chapter of All Progressives Congress (APC) says it has observed with concern, the deteriorating state of the so-called opposition parties, as the country gradually approaches the 2027 general election.
The party in a statement yesterday by its spokesman, Seye
Oladejo, said rather than serve as credible watchdogs, policy challengers, or
intellectual counterweights to the ruling party, the opposition had degenerated
into a coalition of desperation, confusion and hypocrisy – the bane of
democratic growth.
The statement further said: ‘’The health of any democracy is
measured by the quality, depth and seriousness of its opposition – its ideas, organization
and consistency. Sadly, Nigeria’s opposition has failed woefully on all counts.
It lacks leadership, cohesion and a binding political philosophy. The nation
has watched in disbelief as individuals who once claimed to stand for
ideological purity, now leapfrog from one platform to another in search of
personal relevance. The opposition’s moral compass has been completely eroded,
leaving behind a band of opportunists united only by their lust for power.
‘’This chaotic and rudderless reality stands in sharp
contrast to the opposition years under the visionary leadership of Asiwaju Bola
Ahmed Tinubu, who as a master political strategist and democrat, built a
formidable coalition rooted in principles, ideas and structure. Asiwaju’s
opposition politics was defined by clarity of purpose, ideological direction
and consistency of engagement.
He offered Nigerians a credible alternative founded on
progressivism, good governance and national unity.
