President Bola Tinubu is focused on delivering good governance to Nigerians and is not bothered by plots by the mega opposition parties over a potential merger to oust ahead of 2027 general elections, the presidency said on Tuesday.
Recently, there have been speculations that the Labour Party (LP), Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), and other opposition parties may merge ahead of the 2027 election.
Also, Atiku Abubakar, the PDP presidential candidate in the 2023 general elections said he may consider stepping down for Peter Obi of LP if both parties merge and the party decides to zone the ticket to the South-East.
However, speaking in an interview with TheScrutinyNG, Temitope Ajayi, Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity said his principal is not bothered by any threats by the opposition.
“The President is focused on governance and delivering on his agenda to make the country better and prosperous for her citizens. We should not be a country that is perpetually in election mode and politicking”.
“President Tinubu can never be bothered about any plot by the opposition. I think the media should help the country to focus on governance and stop giving undue oxygen to politicking”.
“We know politicians will always play politics but the media can also help moderate things so that the business of governance which is making life better for the citizens can get better traction”.
