The Nigerian presidency has dismissed concerns about the recent gathering of opposition figures, including dissenting members of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), criticizing President Bola Tinubu’s leadership. Presidential spokesperson, Dele Alake, described the assembly as politically motivated, aimed at spreading ill-will and creating unnecessary tension. Alake stated that Tinubu remains undistracted by these political distractions and is focused on tackling Nigeria's pressing economic issues, rather than engaging in political combat. He emphasized that the President's priority is improving the lives of Nigerians and strengthening the economy, not addressing political adversaries.
Alake also urged political aspirants to wait until the appropriate time to challenge Tinubu's leadership, pointing out that 2025 is not the time for electioneering. Despite rising opposition against the administration, including criticism over economic policies and governance, the presidency maintains that Tinubu’s commitment to his leadership remains unwavering.
Additionally, Alake warned Nigerians about the potential global repercussions of the ongoing tariff war between the United States and Canada, urging the country to remain vigilant. He encouraged Nigerians to adopt a “Nigeria First” mentality, emphasizing the need for national unity in the face of global economic shifts. The political landscape in Nigeria continues to shift as critics intensify their opposition ahead of the 2027 elections.
