President Bola Tinubu has chided the opposition coalition formed on the platform of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), describing it as a “coalition of confusion”.
Tinubu made the remark on Thursday at the National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Abuja, where the Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Reduction, Nentawe Yilwatda, emerged as the party’s new National Chairman.
The president urged the party’s NEC to postpone the APC congresses until December to allow more members of the opposition to join the ruling party.
“It’s not a bad idea to abandon the sinking ship and be absent from a coalition of confusion,” he said.
Tinubu’s closest rivals, Peter Obi and Atiku Abubakar, are top members of the ADC coalition, which has vowed to unseat him in the 2027 election.
