Distraction Tactics! Group Mocks Atiku, Obi, Mark Over Anti-Tinubu Coalition
Supporters of former Zamfara State Governors Bello Matawalle and Abdulazeez Yari have dismissed the recently formed coalition of opposition political leaders as a “futile distraction,” declaring President Bola Tinubu as the most viable option for the North-West in the 2027 presidential election.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
Speaking under the banner of the Shehi and Matawalle Project for Tinubu 2027 Mandate, the group ridiculed the alliance—which reportedly includes former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, Labour Party’s Peter Obi, and former Kaduna Governor Nasir El-Rufai—as “a coalition destined for collapse.”
The group made its position known on Saturday in Kaduna during the inauguration of its North-West zonal and state executives, tasked with mobilising grassroots support for Tinubu’s re-election.
“That so-called coalition is nothing more than a political jamboree—it lacks cohesion, vision, and staying power,” said Auwal Mohammed, the group’s Publicity Secretary, while addressing journalists after the event.
Mohammed claimed the alliance is not anchored on any ideological foundation but driven by desperation to oust a president whose bold reforms are already setting the nation on the right course.
“President Bola Tinubu has demonstrated exceptional leadership and strategic vision. His Renewed Hope agenda is repositioning Nigeria through sound economic policies,” he said.
Also speaking at the event, the group’s Zonal Coordinator, Babangida Damba, argued that President Tinubu deserves a second term based on the sweeping reforms and targeted social investments his administration has introduced, particularly in favour of vulnerable Nigerians.
He highlighted the removal of fuel subsidies, unification of the exchange rate, rural electrification initiatives, and road infrastructure development as proof of a government serious about structural transformation.
“Though painful initially, the subsidy removal is now yielding tangible dividends—boosting national revenue and enabling redirection of funds into critical sectors like infrastructure and human capital development,” Damba said.
He charged the newly inaugurated executives to “mobilise, educate, and sustain the momentum for President Tinubu’s return in 2027.”
In his remarks, the group’s Zonal Secretary, Dr Ahmad Hashim, described the Shehi and Matawalle Project as a robust political platform, not just a campaign body.
“This is a strategic movement built to guarantee continuity and the consolidation of President Tinubu’s leadership gains,” Hashim said.
He added that the strength of the group lies in its solid political foundation in the North-West, anchored by influential leaders such as Minister of State for Defence Bello Matawalle and former Governor Abdulazeez Yari.
“Both Matawalle and Yari are political titans in the region. Their track record in governance, national unity, and economic development speaks for itself. They are statesmen who have earned their stripes,” Hashim concluded.

‘Kwankwaso Is More Experienced Than Peter Obi’ – Buhari’s Ex-Aide Declares.
Ahmad made the assertion in a post on his X handle, maintaining that Kwankwaso’s decision to accept the position of running mate should be seen as an act of political modesty rather than an indication that he is less qualified than Obi.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
According to the former presidential aide, the relationship between the two politicians should be viewed as one of equals rather than that of a superior and a subordinate.
“To be entirely candid, the political dynamic between Rabiu Kwankwaso and Peter Obi ought to be characterised as one of collegiality between peers, rather than a hierarchy of principal and subordinate,” he wrote.
He added, “The choice to assume a deputy role beneath Obi ought to be interpreted as a testament to political modesty.”
Making a case for Kwankwaso’s political experience, Ahmad recalled that the former Kano State governor served as Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives before Obi became a prominent figure in national politics.
He also noted that Kwankwaso governed Kano State, which he described as Nigeria’s most populous and politically influential state, for two terms and served as a federal minister.
“If we are assessing political experience, Sen. Kwankwaso probably has a longer and more impressive political background than Peter Obi,” Ahmad stated.
In contrast, the former presidential aide argued that Obi’s major public office experience was limited to his tenure as governor of Anambra State.
“Unlike other candidates, Peter Obi was just a former governor of Anambra State,” he wrote.
