The presidency has said that trouble is brewing in the camp of political heavyweights against President Bola Tinubu.
The anti-Tinubu forces have adopted African Democratic Congress as the party of choice on which platform they will stand against the President’s reelection.
One of them too, Datti Baba-Ahmed, the LP’s 2023 vice presidential candidate, earlier raised fear that tussle for ADC presidential ticket among aspirants would be the bane of the coalition.
Daniel Bwala, Special Adviser to President Tinubu on Policy Communication, echoed Baba-Ahmed’s view in an interview on Channels Television’s Politics Today, where he alleged that trouble already is plaguing the group due to the presidential ambition of Atiku Abubakar, Peter Obi and Rotimi Amaechi.
Bwala made a bad prognosis of the fate of the coalition, saying in six months’ time it would disintegrate.
“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.
“But one of them, his name is Datti, has already sensed the danger ahead and said the problem of this coalition will be who becomes the president. Because right now, I am 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.
“Peter Obi is now a non-issue. He is a non-starter. Already, he has conceded his presidential ambition to Alhaji Atiku Abubakar. Now he has become second fiddle, but he needs to fight for the vice presidential ticket with Rotimi Amaechi,” Bwala claimed.
