Bukarti Is Clueless: Nigerians Stand with the ADC Coalition -By Salisu Uba Kofar Wambai
This is not the time for ego or empty noise. What Nigerians need are leaders with courage, experience, and structure — not social media loudspeakers who offer nothing but confusion. Bukarti should either contribute meaningfully or step aside.
Audu Bulama Bukarti is a noise maker who understands nothing about politics. His recent comments on the newly formed opposition coalition are not only shallow but also dangerously misleading. While millions of Nigerians are applauding this coalition as a timely and necessary step to challenge the Tinubu administration and rescue the country from economic suffocation, Bukarti — a London-based lawyer — chose to mock the effort on social media.
Rather than support a credible and coordinated opposition, he is busy promoting a vague, unstructured “youth political party,” claiming that only the youth can bring change. This may sound attractive on paper, but it shows just how politically naive he is. Politics isn’t wishful thinking — it’s a game of structure, influence, visibility, and strategic alliances.
Just like filmmaking, where unknown actors rarely carry a blockbuster, political success depends on familiar, trusted, and tested figures. The leaders in the ADC-led coalition may not be perfect, but they have the political weight, experience, and resources to pull Nigeria out of this mess. They are not saints, but they know what the people are passing through, and their unity reflects the seriousness of the moment.
We must not forget the damage the Tinubu-led APC government has caused: the reckless removal of fuel subsidy, the crippling naira devaluation, inflation that has turned food and transportation into luxury, and a general sense of hopelessness among ordinary citizens. Nigerians are hungry and angry — and they need relief, not political experiments.
Bukarti’s idea that youth alone can take over now is not only unrealistic — it is risky. It will divide the opposition, weaken the resistance, and give the APC a smooth ride into another term of hardship. The youth are important, yes. But they must join hands with established political structures to make an impact, not isolate themselves in emotional idealism.0
The ADC coalition brings together people who understand Nigerian politics, who have reach, recognition, and machinery. That’s what it takes to defeat a regime that has weaponized poverty and punished the poor. Unity is the only way forward. This is not a time to gamble or experiment — it is a time to act wisely and strategically.
Bukarti’s obsession with promoting his “youth party” at this critical point raises serious questions. Is it just ignorance, or is he playing a hidden role to distract and sabotage the genuine efforts of the coalition? Either way, Nigerians must not be fooled. The real enemy is not the coalition, but the hunger, insecurity, and hopelessness forced on us by the Tinubu government.
This is not the time for ego or empty noise. What Nigerians need are leaders with courage, experience, and structure — not social media loudspeakers who offer nothing but confusion. Bukarti should either contribute meaningfully or step aside.
The ADC coalition may not be perfect, but it is Nigeria’s best shot at ending the nightmare. This moment demands unity, not division — strategy, not noise — and above all, action, not confusion
