The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has urged Nigerians to reject the coalition opposition under the African Democratic Congress (ADC).
Speaking at the University of Port Harcourt’s 35th Combined Convocation, which celebrated its 50th Anniversary on Saturday, the Minister described the ADC stakeholders as naysayers and unpatriotic.
He asserted that the coalition’s only intention is to wrest power from incumbent President Bola Tinubu, despite the politicians’ lack of proven record of achievement in the various elective positions they have occupied in the past.
Wike alleged that members of the coalition are busy spreading lies and hate to paint the Tinubu-led government black ahead of the 2027 general elections.
He argued that Tinubu, upon assuming office, took some painful but necessary decisions that would eventually change Nigeria’s fortunes for the better.
He, however, said some of the administration’s decisions are beginning to bear fruit, citing the steady drop in the price of fuel and others.
He said, “Our country is undoubtedly on the path of positive ascendency and very soon, the impact will be visible even to the blind and obvious even to the cynically minded.”
Speaking on the coalition, Wike said to Nigerians, “We must resist the purveyors of lies, hate and division who seek to destroy our country.
“These men and women who converge under the banner of so-called coalition and propelling a division of grandeur and perpetual fight for relevance and political power.
“If you interrogate their profiles, you will find that they have been in office for almost all their lives. Yet, they have nothing concrete to show of their achievements in building an enduring nation
“In only two years of this administration, they are congregating to destroy rather than build and rather than reconstruct our hitherto battered country for which most of them have been active dramatis personae in the willful destruction of our politics and economy which they painfully orchestrated in their respective tenure in office.
“We know these naysayers and you are enjoined to reject them and their unpatriotic drum beats of division and failed propaganda.”
