President Bola Tinubu
By OLA MODUPE , Akure –
A support group, Grassroots Movement for Tinubu (GMT), has dismissed claims that the African Democratic Congress (ADC) and other coalitions pose a threat to President Bola Tinubu’s second-term ambition in 2027.
GMT’s Director-General, Mr. Saka Yusuf-Ogunleye, in a statement on Thursday in Akure, said the coalition lacks the political weight and moral authority to challenge Tinubu’s growing support base across Nigeria.
“No amount of political meetings or emergency alliances among failed politicians can stop the will of the people,” he said .
Yusuf-Ogunleye highlighted Tinubu’s landmark achievements, including the economy showing signs of recovery, targeted interventions, and aggressive investments in food security.
“The student loan scheme is revolutionary. In energy, the CNG-powered vehicle initiative will soon cushion transport costs,” he said.
The GMT DG described the coalition members as “people who couldn’t win elections in their wards. Some are ex-governors with damaged reputations, others are habitual defectors.
They are not building a movement, they are chasing shadows,” he said.
He warned Nigerians not to be deceived by the sudden romance among ideologically incompatible individuals.
Yusuf-Ogunleye emphasized that political ambition, ego battles, and conflicting loyalties would ultimately truncate the dream of the coalition.
“Every major figure in that coalition has presidential ambition. None is willing to step down for the other. When the chips are down, their selfish interests will scatter the arrangement,” he said.
The GMT DG concluded that Tinubu remains the best-prepared and most result-oriented leader Nigeria has seen in recent years.
