On Tuesday, Yekini Nabena, the former Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress, said regardless of the talks from the merger by the opposition parties to use the economic hardship to dishonor the current administration, adding that President Tinubu will complete his two terms of eight years in his rein.
His statement comes on the heels of talks of a merger and mega party among the opposition parties to dislodge Tinubu in 2027.
Following the controversy that trailed the three-month suspension of the Senator representing Bauchi Central over allegations of N3.7trn padding of the 2024 Budget, Yekini also said that no political disaster in the National Assembly will remove the incumbent President of the Senate, Senator Godswill Akpabio.
The APC chieftain stressed that Nigeria’s unity must not be compromised, in a statement issued by him in Abuja on Tuesday.
He said: “Again, we must also tell the plotters of the mega party and those thinking of merger that we are not afraid of any. If former President Muhammadu Buhari could complete his eight years in office, by the grace of God, the incumbent President Bola Tinubu will do the same.
“Not even the talk of a mega party or merger can stop him. The South will not fight each other again for another region to benefit. The era of division in Southern Nigeria is gone for good.
“I am hopeful that even before the next election, the results of the ongoing reforms will be evidenced even to the blind, and those plotting mega party or merger will not have an option than to accept defeat before the election.
“The same goes for the President of the Senate, Senator Godswill Akpabio. He will also complete his term as the Chairman of the National Assembly in grand style. No threat, blackmail or political machination will do otherwise.
“It must be placed on record that we Nigerians from the South are satisfied with the level of representation we are getting from our representatives in the National Assembly and we have passed a vote of confidence on them for standing tall.”
