Oladimeji Fabiyi, the Deputy Financial Secretary of the African Democratic Congress, has criticized the political decisions of prominent opposition leaders during the last electoral cycle. He contended that the fragmentation of the opposition alliance severely weakened the collective strength required to challenge the ruling party during the crucial nationwide polls.
According to a video posted on the Official YouTube channel of Trust TV on Wednesday, June 3, 2026, while evaluating the breakdown of past coalition discussions, he stated, “Peter Obi and Kwankwaso are the ones who drifted away from the reason to rescue Nigeria.” He insisted their departure compromised the strategic national rescue alignment.
The political analyst noted that individual ambitions often override collective goals within the country’s sensitive political landscape. He argued that a unified front would have easily provided a more direct and seamless path to victory, rather than the fragmented structure that ultimately diluted opposition votes across various geopolitical zones during the tense contest.
Fabiyi defended the consistency of his own party leadership, stating that they remained fully committed to the original foundational agreements of the alliance. He explained that navigating the country’s complex economic and security situations requires absolute selflessness from all major political actors who genuinely desire sustainable development and structural progress.
In his concluding remarks, the administrator urged voters to carefully analyze the historical trajectories and consistency of candidates ahead of subsequent political engagements. He maintained that true patriotism involves making personal sacrifices for the collective welfare of citizens, promising that his platform will continue advocating for robust, issue-based national political partnerships.
