The All Progressives Congress (APC) has accused Aminu Tambuwal, the former governor of Sokoto, and other opposition figures of being the real reason their parties remain weak and divided.
Felix Morka, APC national publicity secretary, said in a statement on Sunday that President Bola Tinubu and the ruling party were focused on governance, not on destabilising the opposition ahead of the 2027 elections.
“Opposition leaders remain in denial while their parties drift, rudderless at sea, as their members peel away in droves,” Morka said.

“The opposition’s attempt at building a coalition remains a figment that is not coalescing due to the hostile takeover of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) that is now unravelling in crippling dimensions and the competing selfishness, desperation and arrogance of its leaders.”
He added that the opposition had failed to provide Nigerians with credible alternatives.
“With nothing of value to offer Nigerians, these opposition elements have now turned political prophets, trumpeting their base wishes and 2027 predictions that only truly portend the devastating defeat that awaits them at the voting thumbs of the good Nigerian electorate that have rejected them before, that rejected them in the recent bye-elections, and will reject them decisively, again, come 2027.”
Morka also dismissed Tambuwal’s claim that his ongoing investigation by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) was politically motivated, insisting that no opposition politician was above the law.
The Lagos State chapter of the APC backed the national leadership, describing Tambuwal’s remarks as an attempt to rewrite the obvious truth.
You will recall that Tambuwal alleged that President Bola Tinubu and the ruling party were plotting to weaken the opposition ahead of the 2027 elections.
Tambuwal, who is under investigation by the EFCC, had also suggested that the probe was politically motivated.
