The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Lagos state has responded to the African Democratic Congress’s (ADC) statement that President Bola Tinubu will serve only one term. According to Seye Oladejo, the APC’s Lagos spokesman, the ADC’s claim is “laughable” and mere “idle talk” from a party that has never held national power.

The APC views the ADC’s statement as an attempt to write “imaginary scripts” about President Tinubu’s tenure, despite the party’s lack of experience in national governance. Oladejo noted that President Tinubu has just begun implementing policies aimed at resetting Nigeria’s path towards sustainable growth and progress.

The APC cited recent by-election results, where the party achieved overwhelming victories, as a testament to the government’s popularity and a referendum on President Tinubu’s leadership. Oladejo stated that these victories demonstrate the ADC’s limited chances of success at the polls.

The ADC had previously claimed that President Tinubu’s mandate would end in 2027 and that Nigerians would not support his continued presidency beyond that point. However, the APC remains confident in President Tinubu’s ability to lead the country, citing his political experience and track record of service.

The exchange between the two parties reflects the ongoing political landscape in Nigeria, where various parties are jostling for position and influence. As the country navigates its political and economic challenges, the APC and ADC’s statements highlight the differing visions and strategies of the parties involved.

President Tinubu’s administration has been focused on implementing policies aimed at driving economic growth and development in Nigeria. The APC’s response to the ADC’s statement suggests that the party is committed to supporting the President’s agenda and is confident in his ability to lead the country forward.

The recent by-election results have been seen as a significant indicator of the APC’s popularity and the government’s performance. The party’s victories in these elections have been interpreted as a vote of confidence in President Tinubu’s leadership and a testament to the APC’s strength at the national level.
