Bola Ahmed Tinubu Doesn’t Need to Destabilise ADC for Re-Election — Oyintiloye

Olatunbosun Oyintiloye, a prominent member of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has counseled the African Democratic Congress (ADC) leadership, led by David Mark, to cease holding President Bola Tinubu responsible for their problems.

Instead of placing the blame on the ruling party, he suggested that the opposition coalition look inward and find a solution to its internal crisis.

In a statement released in Osogbo on Monday, Oyintiloye said that Tinubu is not a court of law that ordered the ADC to return to its pre-merger executives while a case brought by one of its members was being decided at the Federal High Court.

According to Oyintiloye, the delisted ADC leadership must have the guts to tell Nigerians the truth instead of blaming the president for the party’s internal strife.

“I will advise the ADC to put its house in order and stop blaming Tinubu for its crisis,” he stated. In order to win reelection in 2027, the President, who is a true democrat, does not need to undermine any party.

“Tinubu has no time to meddle in pointless political affairs and is not a member of the Court of Appeal that rendered the ruling.

“Targeting Tinubu is a poorly thought-out move if the ADC is searching for someone to hold responsible.”

According to Oyintiloye, the Independent National Electoral Commission’s (INEC) decision to deny recognition to any ADC faction until all legal disputes are settled was the outcome of a court decision rather than the commission’s or Tinubu’s fault.

He went on, “I would honestly advise the ADC to look inward and resolve its internal crisis rather than engaging in a blame game.”

He advised politicians to abide by the law and refrain from actions that could end up being their downfall.

“Using blackmail will not save ADC,” he said. If the party wants Nigerians to acknowledge it as a power in the country’s political landscape, it must start over and rethink its approach.
