Oyintiloye also highlighted that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has decided not to recognize any faction of the ADC until the pending litigations are resolved. This, he explained, is a consequence of the court’s ruling and not the fault of Tinubu or the APC. He further warned that engaging in a blame game or resorting to blackmail would not resolve the ADC’s challenges and could harm the party’s credibility.
In his advice, Oyintiloye urged the ADC leadership to be truthful with Nigerians and refrain from blaming others for their internal issues. He said, “I will advise the ADC to put its house in order and stop blaming Tinubu for its crisis. The President is a true democrat and does not need to destabilise any party to secure re-election in 2027.”
Oyintiloye also urged all politicians to adhere to the rules of political conduct and avoid actions that could lead to further complications. He concluded, “Resorting to blackmail will not save ADC. The party needs to return to the drawing board and rethink its strategy if it wants Nigerians to recognize it as a force within the nation’s political space.”
The ongoing leadership crisis in the ADC has drawn attention to the challenges facing Nigeria’s opposition coalitions. As the 2027 elections approach, the ADC must address its internal issues to regain public trust and position itself as a formidable player in the political landscape. Oyintiloye’s advice underscores the need for self-reflection and responsible leadership within the party.
