The All Progressives Congress (APC) has firmly stated that it is not intimidated by the opposition coalition forming under the African Democratic Congress (ADC) platform, emphasizing President Bola Tinubu's commitment to addressing national challenges with unprecedented political will.
APC National Publicity Secretary, Felix Morka, made this declaration during an interview with Arise TV, where he defended the administration's reform agenda against growing opposition alignment.
"The All Progressives Congress is not jittery; we have no reason to be jittery at all," Morka stated. "We are not jittery because the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, who is the leader of our party, is doing exactly what Nigerians elected him to do."
Morka highlighted Tinubu's distinctive approach to governance, noting that the President "summoned the political will, which no other president has done before him, to confront those challenges."
The APC spokesperson dismissed concerns about opposition realignment, adding: "We're not concerned about any kind of coalition, whether under the ADC or under ADA or any other nomenclature that they choose."
This statement comes amid reports of opposition parties consolidating under the ADC banner ahead of future electoral contests, with some political observers suggesting the coalition aims to present a united front against the ruling party.
The emerging political realignment has sparked debates about the effectiveness of coalition politics in Nigeria's democratic landscape, particularly as the country navigates through significant economic reforms initiated by the Tinubu administration.
Political analysts note that while opposition coalitions have historically struggled to maintain unity in Nigeria, the current economic challenges and public response to government policies could potentially strengthen opposition collaboration.
