Abdulhakeem Adegoke Alawuje, the National Coordinator of the Disciples of Jagaban (DOJ), has confidently declared that the collective opposition against President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s bid for a second term will inevitably falter. Alawuje criticized the coalition, including figures like the former Governor of Kaduna State, Nasir El-Rufai, labeling them as political greenhorns who have previously benefited from Tinubu’s largesse.
The political landscape has been abuzz with discussions on the formation of a new group intent on hindering President Tinubu’s reelection. However, Alawuje argues that this opposition, despite its initial momentum, lacks the strategic depth to sustain itself against the backdrop of Tinubu’s governance, which he characterizes as beneficial to the Nigerian populace.
In his statement, Alawuje underscored the irony in the opposition’s stance, noting that many of its members owe their political advancements to President Tinubu. He expressed confidence that as Tinubu continues to deliver on governance, the opposition’s efforts will naturally lose steam and dissipate.
Furthermore, Alawuje highlighted the historical significance of the opposition’s endeavor, coining them as the new ‘SAKABULA’ group, a term suggesting their efforts are misguided and destined to backfire. His remarks reflect a broader sentiment among Tinubu’s supporters that the current administration’s policies, despite causing temporary hardships, are set for long-term benefits for the country.
The DOJ leader also took the opportunity to remind President Tinubu of the importance of acknowledging and supporting the grassroots movements and volunteers who have been instrumental in his political journey, especially those who remained loyal during challenging times.
This unfolding scenario emphasizes the deeply entrenched loyalties and rivalries within Nigerian politics, as well as the complexities surrounding the discourse of leadership and governance in the country. As the political drama continues to unfold, the nation watches keenly, anticipating the impact of these developments on the upcoming electoral cycle and the broader political landscape.
