Coalition: Why APC Held a National Summit Today (Politics)

 The coalition talks among the opposition looks like it's gaining traction in the last few days. 

Realizing the battle to stop President Bola Tinubu from getting a second term is an Hercules task that seems nigh impossible, the opposition is starting early..



But, in the face of the concrete confidence the ruling party got recently following a tsunami of defections from within the same opposition, the All Progressives' Congress (APC) is not loosening it's lead. Today's, it held a national summit comprising all ministers, members of national assembly, governors, past excis, past governors in a power move to show its swelling tanks.  This is in stark contrast to a pitifully shrunk opposition that boasted of a few notable individuals. 

The ruling party gained an advantage when signals in the Nigerian political space reveals that securing political office in Nigeria now, is by belonging to the ruling party. Current office holders are also not unmindful  of the political scenery now, that to return to positions currently held, they must join the ruling party. 



In the last one month, Labour Party, New Nigeria Peoles Party, Peoles Democratic Party and a few other opposition parties have suffered huge setbacks as top office holders have quit their membership to join APC..Before, the opposition was in the majority while APC  was the minority. But now,  ruling APC is  also the majority party. 

That's what today's national summit was about. To flaunt in vivid reality it's elephant size membership and intimidating pedigree. 

The virtually non-existent opposition that's s rambling hi to gain relevance and authority in the politics of Nigerian has a long, arduous road towards dislodging the APC from.power in the 2027 polls.

Interesting Reasons Why Fubara & Bakare Visited Tinubu (Politics)

Image
President Tinubu (right) with Pastor Bakare  His abode has long been a mecca of sorts. Since he left office as governor of Lagos 18 years ago, Bourdillon has nearly become a reference for him and his immense political influence. This is because people seeking political patronage or one favour or the other, are known to throng this venue which he stays on the stretch of Lahos' road in highbrow Ikoyi called Bourdillon.  Street beggars anf road urchins are not left out. They literally make the entrance way into the place their abode anytime he is in town for cash gifts and sometimes,free daily meals .  Who? Your guess is as good as mine. It is about President Tinubu and his Bourdillon enclave turning to a hotbed of visits from the most influential, to the downtrodden.  But two fresh visits stir curiosity.
