Nigeria Onanuga Blasts ADC Coalition: Tinubu Critics Are Desperate for Power

The Digest:

In a statement laced with sharp warnings, presidential adviser Bayo Onanuga dismissed the opposition coalition as “united only by hatred” and fuelled by desperation. As Nigeria’s political temperature rises ahead of 2027, the power struggle is becoming a mirror, not just of ambition, but of the nation’s fractured faith in leadership.

Key points:

• Onanuga said former APC members left the party long before joining ADC
• ADC coalition includes Atiku, Obi, Tambuwal, Amaechi, Oyegun, Malami, and others
• David Mark and Rauf Aregbesola named interim leaders of the ADC platform
• Onanuga accused Aregbesola of anti-party conduct in Osun
• He warned Nigerians not to trust parties “built on hatred for Tinubu.”
• ADC is described as a party with no ideology or development plan
• The coalition unveiled its 2027 platform at a formal event in Abuja

Onanuga’s remarks reflect the widening rift between legacy power blocs and emerging coalitions. Whether Nigerians see chaos or clarity in this political realignment may define the nation's democratic trajectory.
