President Bola Tinubu's Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, has alleged that "haters of Nigeria's progress" have formed a coalition with the intention of overthrowing the current administration.

In a statement released on Tuesday, Onanuga described the Tinubu administration as "the most focused and transformative in Nigeria's history," emphasizing that the President's reforms are beginning to reshape the country despite facing opposition.

The presidential aide referenced a 2022 warning from the Emir of Kano, Muhammad Sanusi II, who had cautioned Nigerians about the challenging nature of Tinubu's proposed reforms. According to Onanuga, Sanusi's warning has now justified the difficult but necessary reforms being implemented by the administration.

"Emir Sanusi warned Nigerians what to expect from President Tinubu's reforms. 'It's not going to be easy.' 'If anybody tells you it would be easy, don't vote for him,'" Onanuga quoted in his post on X (formerly Twitter).

He continued, "Just two years after Tinubu began implementing the reforms, the haters of Nigeria's progress are banding together to overthrow an administration that has been the most focused, most transformative in our history."

Onanuga's comments come amid the emergence of an opposition coalition that has adopted the platform of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) with the declared intention of defeating Tinubu in the 2027 presidential election.

Political analysts note that this coalition represents a significant consolidation of opposition forces in Nigerian politics, potentially setting the stage for a highly contested election cycle as President Tinubu continues to implement his economic and social reform agenda.

The administration has faced criticism over economic policies that have led to increased hardship for many Nigerians, though government officials maintain these reforms are necessary for long-term prosperity and stability.
