The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Lagos State has dismissed remarks by the African Democratic Congress (ADC) that President Bola Tinubu will serve only one term.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) recalls that ADC had recently alleged that the Tinubu administration’s failure to deliver on campaign promises would lead to his defeat in 2027.

Reacting in a statement on Wednesday, APC spokesman Seye Oladejo described the comment as laughable and the ADC as “an association of serial defectors.”

“Their claim that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu will be a one-term President is nothing but idle talk from a party that has never tasted power at the centre and is unlikely to do so in this lifetime.

“It is rather convenient for a party that has no record of winning elections at the national level to begin to write imaginary scripts about the tenure of a leader whose political sagacity, track record of service, and capacity to deliver are beyond question,” Oladejo said.

He stressed that President Tinubu had only just begun the hard work of resetting Nigeria on the path of sustainable growth and progress.

“Nigerians are already seeing bold, people-oriented policies that lesser leaders have shied away from for decades. The APC government under Tinubu is laying solid foundations, step by step, for lasting transformation,” he added.

Oladejo further accused the ADC of lacking roots or direction.

“President Tinubu, by virtue of his political pedigree and sacrifice for democracy, has earned his place at the leadership table – unlike the ADC that feeds on crumbs from serial defections.

“There is absolutely nothing on ground to show that the ADC stands any chance at the polls.

“If indeed the morning shows the day, then the results of the recently held by-elections across the country – where the APC swept to overwhelming victory – speak volumes.

“Those victories were not only a referendum on the Tinubu government but also an overwhelming vote of confidence by Nigerians. Clearly, the ADC will do better in a circus arena than on the political rostrum,” Oladejo said.

He insisted that no amount of “idle chatter” could derail President Tinubu’s historic mandate, adding: “The so-called prophecy of a one-term presidency is nothing but wishful thinking from a party whose best days are behind it – if indeed it ever had any.”

Oladejo urged Nigerians to ignore what he called the distractions of political lightweights and remain steadfast in supporting the administration.

“The ADC, an Association of Serial Defectors, is already on political life support and will soon fizzle into oblivion. President Tinubu is not just running a government – he is consolidating a legacy that generations will reckon with,” he concluded.
