He said that those politicians switching parties are allowed to do so and it is allowed in the constitutional under the freedom of association.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Dr. Yakasai said the politicians forming a coalition against the President are distrusted by Nigerians because they failed in the past when given the opportunity to govern the country as they instead created a mess that Tinubu is now trying to clear and put Nigeria on a path of development.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>According to him: \u201cIn Nigeria, we have seen that after every election, the losers tend to cry the loudest even when they performed abysmally when given the opportunity to serve the people. What the APC has come to do is clear the mess of past misgovernance by the Peoples Democratic Party for 16 years.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\u201cYou can remember that it was in this country that $16 billion meant for power infrastructure went missing; it was in this country that we had the Halliburton scandal for which an American senator was jailed, but collaborators in Nigeria have not faced the law.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\u201cSo APC has come to correct these things done by PDP. Most of them who held sway since 1999\u200a\u2014\u200aand I know them well, performed badly and now that President Tinubu has come to rectify their misgovernance, instead of supporting him, they are the ones forming a coalition to try and take power again after Nigerians have driven them out.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\u201cWe know their antecedents, and they are just a coalition with an interest in becoming President. It is easy for coalitions to meet because of their interests, but when it comes time to agree, they will naturally disagree because that is in their character. In any case, when the coalition meets, many of its members have been moving into APC in droves.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\u201cSo, seeing the coalition of opposition being gradually depleted, you wonder if you should have sleepless nights. And I believe Nigerians will not believe what these leaders are saying because they know their true colours as they do not intend to govern for the interests of the masses. I do not think whatever they are doing should worry us\u201d, Yakasai said.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Highlighting some of Tinubu&#8217;s achievements,\u00a0 Yakasai, said, \u201cthe first major achievement of this administration is to do away with the unsustainable fuel subsidy that became a monster consuming resources, billions of Naira, that would have been used for national development but ended up in the pockets of a few individuals.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\u201cThe second thing is that streamlining of the parallel foreign exchange market, which hitherto saw a few connected persons doing round-tripping\u200a\u2014\u200agetting foreign currency from the Central Bank and instead of using it for manufacturing or industry, they go and sell to forex dealers in the black market.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\u201cSo, these two major measures which President Tinubu took in May 2023 when he assumed office, put a brake to the destruction of Nigeria\u2019s economic system.\u201d<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>On what Nigerians should expect from the Tiinubu administration in the remaining first term, he said: \u201cThey should exercise patience and continue to support President Tinubu. I can guarantee them that by the time the various policies take full effect, Nigerians will have a lot of benefits in terms of road network, health infrastructure, education, security, and significant improvement in the economy.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\u201cAlso, you can\u2019t start reforms and stop them midway, some of them require continuity for them to fully mature. Nigerians should remember that even other presidential candidates had equally promised to remove the petrol subsidy, but the problem is that they would not have managed the consequences as professionally as President Tinubu is doing.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\u201cSo, Nigerians should be patient and In sha Allah, there will be more progress and it is only when you guarantee continuity that you will see full results and manifest success in next two years; moreso when President Bola Tinubu comes back for a second term\u201d he said.<\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Myke Agunwa, Abuja The Director-General of Tinubu Support Group (TSG), Dr. Umar Tanko Yakasai, has claimed that Nigerians will not trust the mega coalition being put together by some&hellip;<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":119519,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-119518","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-exclusive"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>2027: Nigerians will not trust coalition because of anticidents - Yakasai - Pointblank News<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/pointblanknews.com\/pbn\/exclusive\/2027-nigerians-will-not-trust-coalition-because-of-anticidents-yakasai\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"2027: Nigerians will not trust coalition because of anticidents - Yakasai - Pointblank News\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"By Myke Agunwa, Abuja The Director-General of Tinubu Support Group (TSG), Dr. Umar Tanko Yakasai, has claimed that Nigerians will not trust the mega coalition being put together by some&hellip;\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/pointblanknews.com\/pbn\/exclusive\/2027-nigerians-will-not-trust-coalition-because-of-anticidents-yakasai\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Pointblank News\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2025-06-09T09:10:38+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/pointblanknews.com\/pbn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/images-9.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"310\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"163\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Our Reporter\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Our Reporter\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"4 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/pointblanknews.com\/pbn\/exclusive\/2027-nigerians-will-not-trust-coalition-because-of-anticidents-yakasai\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/pointblanknews.com\/pbn\/exclusive\/2027-nigerians-will-not-trust-coalition-because-of-anticidents-yakasai\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"Our Reporter\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/pointblanknews.com\/pbn\/#\/schema\/person\/ba61acbe7e8967bcf3f3ba603d9db23c\"},\"headline\":\"2027: Nigerians will not trust coalition because of anticidents &#8211;
