bloomshorts Opposition Coalition Challenges One-Party State Narrative
Former Lagos State governor and minister, Babatunde Fashola, has emphasized the importance of the recent opposition coalition in Nigeria, stating it effectively counters claims of the nation moving towards a one-party state. This development was discussed during his interview on Channels Television’s Sunrise.
The Reawakening of Opposition
Fashola praised the coalition as a sign of the opposition’s revival after a period of inactivity. He stressed the need for a clear alternative vision from the coalition to truly impact Nigeria’s political landscape.
Political Implications and Future Prospects
The formation of the coalition, involving key figures like Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi, sets the stage for a competitive 2027 presidential election. However, Fashola questions the coalition’s readiness without a definitive manifesto or action plan.
