\u2026Says, We\u2019re Building a Nation While You\u2019re Building Excuses<\/b><\/p>\n
The Lagos State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has noted, with a mix of amusement and pity, the latest attention-seeking outburst from the African Democratic Congress (ADC), accusing \u201cTinubu\u2019s APC\u201d of trying to silence the opposition before 2027.<\/p>\n
Let\u2019s set the record straight – you can\u2019t silence what Nigerians have already tuned out. The ADC\u2019s statement is the political equivalent of a mosquito accusing a lion of roaring too loudly. President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the APC are too busy reshaping Nigeria\u2019s destiny to bother with political spectators who only appear during election season to make noise and vanish after the count.<\/p>\n
While the APC is building stronger structures, refining strategies, and consolidating internal unity for more result-oriented governance, the opposition – led by the ADC – is preoccupied with compiling the names of members to expel from its already starving register. Its executives are now more concerned about who might \u201cescape\u201d than who might join.<\/p>\n
It is laughable that a party which exists only on newspaper pages and WhatsApp groups claims to be \u201cunder threat.\u201d From whom, exactly? Nigerians have long moved on from empty political vessels. The ADC\u2019s brand of politics has no base, no followers, and no relevance – just a press release and a logo that might soon need a missing person\u2019s announcement.<\/p>\n
Worse still, it is a strange and cynical brand of politics for a party to start preparing ready-made excuses for its imminent defeat before the polls. The ADC\u2019s strategy seems to be to blame its opponents in advance while ignoring its own tragic flaws, internal chaos, and complete lack of grassroots connection. You don\u2019t lose elections because your opponents silenced you – you lose because the people don\u2019t believe in you.<\/p>\n
Under President Tinubu\u2019s Renewed Hope Agenda, the APC is too focused on results to be distracted by professional complainers. The only thing being \u201csilenced\u201d in Nigeria today is failure, confusion, and the politics of bitterness that the opposition has perfected as an art form.<\/p>\n
The ADC should stop hallucinating about persecution and start learning basic political arithmetic. You cannot accuse the APC of silencing you when your own silence is self-inflicted and deafening – the result of irrelevance, disunity, and absence of purpose.<\/p>\n
If the ADC spent half as much time organizing as it does issuing press statements, perhaps Nigerians might actually remember it exists. But for now, its biggest electoral victory remains trending briefly on Twitter before vanishing into the fog of political obscurity.<\/p>\n
The APC remains unwavering in its mission to build a nation of opportunities, unity, and prosperity under President Tinubu. We will not be distracted by political comedians seeking attention through cheap drama.<\/p>\n
As for the ADC – stop crying wolf; the nation has moved on.<\/p>\n
