ADC is doing the talking while APC is building a coalition, reckons JOSHUA J. OMOJUWA
The political firmament is getting clearer by the day. Whilst some insist on not seeing this despite being apparent enough, even to the visually impaired, the rest of us can see the times for what they are; President Bola Tinubu has been building a coalition all along, while the ADC talked endlessly about building one. To readers of this page, this cannot be a surprise. Everything I believed the ADC’s pretend coalition was, it has been and a little worse. We now know that the ADC is just a caricature of what would have been a coalition and as the days go by, the wise and ambitious will start to play for 2031. Those wiser than those were playing for that, long before these skies got clearer.
Soon, it’d be easier to count who has not defected to the APC, to account for those who have. Because then, it’d take too long to run the count for the latter. The APC is building a coalition. That they weren’t the ones talking one up does not change that fact. ADC talked it, APC simply focused on doing it. Now, with barely a year to the election, everyone who isn’t pretending to be asleep, knows which of the parties has expanded more than the other this year.
