Tinubu's Aide Mocks Atiku, Obi Amid ADC Crisis

A special adviser to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Onanuga, has publicly mocked opposition leaders Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi, referring to them as "renters" in the political arena. This statement was made in the context of ongoing internal crises within the African Democratic Congress (ADC), which have been exacerbated by recent criticisms from various factions.

The ADC's leadership, currently under David Mark, has faced accusations of illegitimacy, further undermining the party's credibility. The situation reflects a broader political tension as realignments among opposition parties are anticipated ahead of the 2027 general elections.

The ADC is emerging as a potential coalition platform, with Tinubu's aide, Nafiu Bala, emphasizing that the opposition leaders have no genuine stake in the party's affairs. This development highlights the increasing fragmentation and challenges within Nigeria's political landscape.
