The Lagos State Chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) salutes President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for once again proving why he remains the most credible defender of Nigeria’s democracy. By maintaining absolute neutrality, encouraging transparency, and refusing to interfere, the President has elevated his democratic credentials to a level the opposition can neither match nor comprehend.
We also commend the new leadership of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) for what can best be described as a bold, refreshing, and promising new dawn. If morning truly shows the day, then Nigeria is finally reclaiming the democratic maturity that the opposition has spent years trying to undermine with propaganda, theatrics, and cheap blackmail.
A Coalition in Disarray – Scattered Before the First Whistle
The Anambra Governorship Election has brutally exposed the hollow, paper-thin structure of the so-called “opposition coalition.” The election did not merely defeat them – it embarrassed them. It stripped them bare. It showed Nigerians that behind the noise lies a confused mass of political wanderers, competing egoists, and perpetual complainers masquerading as a coalition.
A group that cannot win together in a familiar backyard and a supposed stronghold should stop dreaming about winning anywhere else.
Peter Obi’s Comic Relief: A Preview of His Post-2027 Career
As the reality of imminent defeat became undeniable, Mr. Peter Obi quickly offered a face-saving excuse – that “all the candidates are my kins.”
A convenient statement only discovered when the pendulum had swung violently away from him.
Nigerians can now clearly see through the theatrics. In fact, it is becoming obvious that Mr. Obi may have missed his true calling. His newly discovered comic talent will serve him well after 2027 when his political retirement becomes official and irreversible. Leadership requires seriousness, not sentimental monologues and emergency philosophies discovered at polling units.
A Coalition Without Vision, Without Structure, Without Direction
For months, they advertised themselves as a tsunami. Anambra has now confirmed them as a puddle. Their so-called coalition is nothing more than a gathering of disgruntled political tourists united by bitterness, not vision; by frustration, not strategy; by hatred of progress, not love for Nigeria.
Nigerians are tired of their hypocrisy, their contradictions, and their endless excuses. A coalition that cannot mobilize its own base is not preparing for 2027 – it is preparing for political extinction.
APC: The Only Party With National Depth and Democratic Discipline
While the opposition is busy licking its wounds and searching for excuses, the APC continues to deliver reforms, attract investors, expand infrastructure, and restore Nigeria’s dignity on the world stage. Under President Tinubu, Nigeria is not just moving – it is rising.
The Anambra election is a warning shot to the opposition:
Your era of emotional blackmail is over. Nigerians now judge leaders by results, not rumours; by performance, not propaganda.
Whither the Coalition?
The answer is simple:
Nowhere. Absolutely nowhere.
The Anambra election has written the obituary of a coalition that never truly existed.
