‘I will never join any coalition against Tinubu’ — Sirika
Former Minister of Aviation, Hadi Sirika, has dismissed reports alleging his involvement in an opposition coalition said to be plotting against President Bola Tinubu ahead of the 2027 elections.
Speaking on Channels Television’s Morning Brief on Wednesday, Sirika stated categorically that he has no ties to the group and would never join such a coalition.
“No, I am not,” he said when asked directly about the reports. “Yesterday, I was with Chief Bayo Onanuga in the Presidential Villa and he said I was in the coalition. I told him I was not and never will be. He said he got that from the reports. People can join coalitions; it is democracy.”
Sirika also clarified the reason for his recent visit to the Presidential Villa, saying it was purely to condole with President Tinubu over the death of former President Muhammadu Buhari.
“The purpose of the meeting was to officially pay our condolences to the President, who did extremely well after the demise of our leader, President Muhammadu Buhari,” he explained.
