Senator Mudasiru Husain has berated the coalition championed by former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, Nasir El-Rufia, and Peter Obi, saying that no alliance of calumny can remove President Bola Ahmed Tinubu from office.
Husain, who represented Osun West Senatorial District, in 2011, held that the coalition move is driven by old grudges and not love, vision and unity for the country.
A statement by the Senator who is one of the leading 2026 Osun State governorship aspirants under All Progressives Congress(APC) noted that the aim of the stakeholders of coalition is to destabilise purposeful leadership of Tinubu who already begun reshaping Nigeria’s socio-economic path.
He said, “But let’s be honest. What binds these individuals? Not vision. Not unity. Not even shared principles. What they have in common is ambition, often personal, and in many cases, driven by old grudges. These are not the foundations of a credible alternative.
“President Tinubu has far surpassed the influence of any force they can muster. His political instincts, strategic depth, and unwavering commitment to Nigeria’s future place him far ahead of any challenge this coalition might present.”
He continued, “I know this not just as a politician, but as someone whose journey was shaped under the progressive banner that Tinubu has championed for decades. His mentorship, his selfless sacrifices, and his foresight laid the foundation for many of us who now have a voice in public service.
“I understand the desperation within the opposition ranks. Peter Obi’s insistence on running solely under the Labour Party already shows that unity is elusive. Meanwhile, defections continue from their camp into the APC, which speaks volumes about where true leadership lies.
“Let’s not forget President Tinubu’s achievements. In less than two years, he’s rebalanced Nigeria’s economic framework and is building bridges across ethnic and political divides. People are taking note; even those who once stood against him are beginning to realign, embracing a new era of progressive politics.
“As I look ahead to 2027, I see a stronger, more unified Nigeria under President Tinubu’s leadership. The noise will rise, but it won’t shake the foundation we’ve built. Our focus remains steady, our values clear.”
