He emphasized that since all coalition leaders are dealing with these crises, it raises the question of what impact one individual could have by leaving. He concluded that anyone exiting the coalition is compromised and effectively supporting Tinubu, regardless of who they are.
In his view, a candidate’s departure from the ADC after failing to secure the presidential ticket may be seen as an indirect endorsement of President Bola Tinubu’s political goals.
