The ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) has dismissed the newly formed opposition coalition as a group of impostors and self-centered power seekers driven by vengeance.
This was revealed in an official statement issued on Thursday by the party’s spokesperson, Felix Morka a member of APC.
He described the coalition’s unveiling as a parade of Nigeria’s “me-or-nothing” politicians—individuals who shamelessly equate their personal ambitions with national interest and cannot stand being away from the corridors of power and privilege.
He accused the coalition members of being desperate power seekers, using deceit and manipulation to pursue their ambitions. According to him, they lay claim to a morally bankrupt sense of entitlement to power—despite their shameful record of betraying public trust and plundering public resources.
It will be recalled that the opposition coalition, on Wednesday, adopted the African Democratic Congress (ADC) as its official platform to challenge the APC in the upcoming 2027 general elections.
The coalition also named former Senate President David Mark as its interim National Chairman and former Osun State Governor Rauf Aregbesola as interim National Secretary.
In response to the unveiling, the APC dismissed David Mark’s address as empty and directionless, describing it as a compilation of falsehoods and baseless accusations targeted at President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration.
“From beginning to end, Senator Mark said nothing about the purpose of the so-called coalition other than a loud declaration of desperation for power. What value does the coalition bring to Nigerians? Why should any Nigerian be concerned about a coalition of a bunch of egotistical maniacs for whom power and patronage are the oxygen on which their lives depend?
“One would have expected that, after months of vacillating between the devil and the deep blue sea, in search of a host platform, Senator Mark and his co-travelers would take Nigerians seriously enough by telling them what their coalition would do differently regarding the administration’s bold economic and sectoral policy reforms.
“What key alternative policy approaches would the coalition implement, and with what prospects of success compared to the high value and transformative impact of the administration’s reform policies?
“What exactly is the philosophical or ideological leaning of the coalition or its new party, aside from desperation for power at all cost, by all means necessary and unnecessary?
“Senator Mark’s speech was loud in its silence to these questions because himself and his coalition partners are disgracefully clueless, without a care or concern about Nigeria and Nigerians, only filled with wolfish quest for power for their own mendacious end,” the statement read in part.
