A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Jackson Lekan Ojo, has stated that the coalition African Democratic Congress (ADC) is justified in its attempt to displace the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in 2027.

Ojo argued that the President Bola Tinubu-led administration has wrecked Nigeria beyond repair and that the country requires urgent rescue.

He claimed that if it is true that previous governments failed, then “the government of Tinubu” is a “super failure.”

The politician and political affairs analyst made these remarks while speaking as a guest on a radio programme monitored by our correspondent in Osogbo on Tuesday.

He said, “The nation’s economy is in shambles, security is in coma; people are dying daily, many cannot afford to eat. Before, when you had N1,000, you could even invite your friends to take pepper soup and some bottles, but now, N1,000 cannot buy a bottle of stout. The present administration has failed Nigerians.

“Nigeria is not moving again. People are dying of hunger. Nothing is working in Nigeria. There is no principle of checks and balances. It has been buried because the people at the National Assembly are rubber-stamped. We cannot continue like this,” he said.

The meeting comes ahead of plans by the coalition backed ADC to form a strong anti-Tinubu party ahead of 2027.

Their discussions centered on the evolving political landscape, strategies for enhancing democratic governance, and their shared aspirations for the progress of both Adamawa State and the nation as a whole.

This is contained in a Facebook post by Atiku Abubakar media team on Monday.

The ADC has been mobilizing teams in states, especially Gombe and Adamawa.

This is part of plans to wrestle power from the Bola Tinubu led government at the polls.

Prophet Joshua Iginla of the Champion Royal Assembly has urged some top political office holders to prioritize their health over politics.

Iginla, who spoke on Sunday while releasing prophecies on the state of the nation, particularly said three major Nigerian leaders need to take care of their health.

According to him, life is more important than politics, stressing that politicians “need to be alive to play politics”.

He said, “If I were the people in power now, I would take care of my health. Three major important people should take care of their health.

“It is only the living that can do politics, spend time taking care of their health, all these permutations are not up to health permutations”.

Although the man of God failed to disclose the public office holder currently having health crisis, reports indicate that some top politicians have been secretly seeking medical attention abroad.

An ex-presidential media aide, Bashir Ahmad recently confirmed that former president of Nigeria, Muhammadu Buhari, is currently recovering in hospital from an unnamed illness.
