Former Minister of Engineering and Housing Babatunde Fashola, dedicated to the recent formation of a new political coalition involving major opposition leaders, asserting that the development is concerned about Nigeria, arguing that Nigeria is moving towards a one-party system.
Fashola said in an interview on channel television on Saturday that the decision to adopt the African Democratic Congress (ADC) as a coalition platform strengthened the constitutional right of Nigerians to freely interact politically. However, he raises questions about the ideological depth and sustainability of the alliance.
“There are some important things happening Show that there are still organized opposition parties,” He said.
The former governor of Lagos welcomed the regained political engagement, but stressed that the influence of the alliance will depend on the strength of its policies and the clarity of its purpose.
“It’s not enough to get together and say you want to change Nigeria. What is the alternative vision? Without a clear declaration or action plan, it’s hard to measure the effectiveness or persuasion of the group,” he said. He said.
Fashola also criticized the opposition for what he called a prolonged period of silence, saying they failed to play the role that has held the ruling party in recent years.
“I support the Political Association and believe that the country can benefit from this new energy in opposition politics. But in reality, they have not been active for the past two years.” He added
