The Lagos State Chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has noted with justified amusement the recent statement by former Sokoto State Governor and PDP chieftain, Rt. Hon. Aminu Tambuwal, in which he claimed that the so-called “battle to unseat President Bola Ahmed Tinubu” is a “national consensus” and not a “northern conspiracy.” This is yet another failed attempt to rewrite the obvious truth: Nigerians overwhelmingly rejected the opposition in 2023 and continue to support a government that is focused on performance, not propaganda.

It is firstly an emotional affair and more importantly a test of loyalty. It’s emotional on two fronts because it’s coming at a time he is mourning the death of his father and won’t have to be on the pitch with his team mates.
