EKO HOT BLOG reports that he claimed that the group lacks a clear vision for the country and is instead seeking to pressure Nigerians into supporting it through what he described as intimidation tactics.
Taking a swipe at former presidential candidate Peter Obi, the presidential aide alleged a pattern of misinformation, insisting that the coalition’s approach had failed to gain public support.
According to him, the coalition had not been able to generate the expected momentum despite its political alignments.
He further questioned the credibility of the group, arguing that any coalition accused of forcefully taking over a political party could not effectively serve as a viable opposition.
“Desperate people do desperate things” Ordinarily their coalition should bring hope and excitement, but because they have no clear vision and alternative for Nigeria, nobody reckons with them. You would think with @PeterObi bringing in fake news CSO, fake TV anchors, fake movement of irrational and double standards Obidient they would create momentum, but anything fake hardly last.
“They have now resorted to blackmailing Nigeria and the Nigerian people in the eyes of the international community; anticipating hard and harsh treatment that would affect the lives and economy of ordinary Nigerians, so that Nigerians would be intimidated into voting them; that’s political banditry.
“But wait, can a people who invade a political party in a gestapo manner, take over the party structures by force and abduction the party, actually build opposition?”
The comments reflect growing political tensions ahead of future electoral contests, with parties and coalitions intensifying rhetoric over their positions and strategies.
