Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on Policy Communications, Daniel Bwala, has predicted that the new opposition coalition under African Democratic Congress, ADC, will implode within six months.

Speaking on Monday during an interview on ‘Politics Today’, a program on Channels Television, Mr Bwala said the coalition has been unable to present alternative policies capable of convincing Nigerians to vote for them.

According to him, the group won’t be a threat to the President in 2027.

Mr Bala said: “What I still find intriguing is that this coalition of internally displaced politicians has not been able to summon the courage to come up with alternative facts, alternative policies, or alternative programs.

“Throughout the interview you had with Peter Obi, what I observed is that he has not been able to counter or disagree—in the real sense of the word—with the policies.

“They have not brought a single alternative policy to the table. All they do is criticise and issue press statements. The truth is, they lack vision and have not shown Nigerians they truly care.”

He added that the struggle for who will emerge as the flagbearer under the ADC will scatter the party.

“All this fantasy of coalition — we all know that once there is a phenomenon like that, we are going to have a good two to three weeks of romanticising: ‘we have ideas, we can do this,” he said.

“But one of them — his name is Datti (Baba-Ahmed) — has already sensed the danger ahead and said the problem of this coalition will be who becomes the president. Because right now — I’m quoting him — ‘everybody wants to be the president.’

“After one month, when they sit down, I am telling you on my honour, in the next six months, that coalition will not even be a conversation. They will scatter.”
