The National Chairman of the Young Progressives Party (YPP), Bishop Amakiri, has criticised the opposition coalition led by the African Democratic Congress (ADC), describing it as a recycled group of political elites whose past performances have contributed significantly to Nigeria’s lingering leadership crisis.

Speaking on Monday during an appearance on The Morning Brief, a programme on Channels Television, Amakiri dismissed the credibility of key coalition members.

He specifically mentioned former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, former Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai, and former Transportation Minister Rotimi Amaechi as individuals who lack the moral authority to champion genuine political change.

“I have a problem, and it is whether 85 percent of the people in that coalition have the moral justification to talk about liberating Nigerians from the political leadership quagmire we find ourselves in. Nigeria is in urgent need of political leadership substitution,” Amakiri said.

He continued: “Eighty-five percent of them belong to the PPM coalition group. It is a conglomeration of people who have, quite frankly, failed this nation. I don’t know how such a group can credibly drive the agenda they are pushing. The task is now left for Nigerians to decide.”
