Demola Olarewaju, the Senior Political Assistant to former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, has described the emerging opposition coalition under the African Democratic Congress (ADC) as one of the most significant developments in Nigeria’s recent democratic history.
According to him, the coalition represents a structural response to growing concerns about governance, political imbalance, and the weakening of opposition parties. Olarewaju said this on Eagle 102.5 FM, Ilese-Ijebu, yesterday.
According to him, the coalition is not merely an electoral arrangement but a structural response to growing concerns about governance and political balance.
He maintained that the ADC represents what he called a necessary correction within Nigeria’s democratic evolution. Olarewaju said: “I think the ADC coalition is the best thing that has happened to Nigeria over the past few years. “We see what is going on.
And it’s a shame, you know. We see what is going on as regards the shrinking of the political space. “We see a president who claims to be a political genius but is not able to solve the problems of Nigeria. But he can disrupt opposition political parties.”
