Omokri declares Tinubu unstoppable after APC displays rare unity

By Kazeem Ugbodaga

A former presidential aide, Reno Omokri, has said the level of organisation and unity displayed at the recent convention of the All Progressives Congress (APC) signals a strong advantage for President Bola Tinubu ahead of the 2027 general elections.

Omokri, in a series of posts on social media, described the convention held at Eagles Square, Abuja, as “sleek and organised,” arguing that the ruling party’s cohesion contrasts sharply with what he characterised as divisions within opposition parties.

“Did you see how sleek and organised the APC convention has been? If you saw that and still believe anybody can unseat President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, you need to come back to reality,” he said.

He noted that the gathering, which drew thousands of party members and stakeholders, proceeded without major incidents, describing it as a demonstration of discipline and internal coordination.

“The APC convention was precise, and most went like clockwork. How so many people can be gathered in such a hitch-free manner has to be studied,” Omokri added.

According to him, the presence of key party figures, including the President, Vice President and governors elected on the party’s platform, underscored what he termed a “united front” within the APC.

“The APC has thirty-one governors, and they all turned up smiling and high-fiving, No divisions, factions, or frictions. It was one big happy family,” he said.

Omokri contrasted the ruling party’s outing with ongoing tensions within opposition platforms, including the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and the African Democratic Congress (ADC), which he said are grappling with internal disagreements and leadership disputes.

“The ADC is divided and the PDP is heading to the Supreme Court,” he stated, adding that parties struggling with internal cohesion may find it difficult to mount a credible electoral challenge.

He further argued that political parties unable to manage internal conflicts risk losing public confidence.

“If you cannot protect yourselves from an outside force, then how can you win the confidence of the larger public?” he queried.
