JUST IN: Sunday Dare Slams Recycled Politicians, Dismisses Their ‘Rescue Nigeria’ Claims

According to Arise News on Monday, April 27, 2026, the Special Adviser to the President on Media and Public Communication, Sunday Dare, addressed the recent summit of opposition leaders in Ibadan.

Dare stated at the 4:04 mark that while political leaders have the right to decide on their actions, there is a functional government in place with measurable results.

He argued at the 4:26 mark that the gathering consisted of individuals he described as driven more by personal ambition than by organized political competition.

The presidential aide maintained at the 4:43 mark that an opposition lacking organization, coherence, and credibility is fundamentally problematic for the democratic system.

He insisted at the 5:32 mark that President Tinubu stands on a solid foundation of performance and outcomes that the administration is prepared to defend.

Dare stated at the 6:05 mark that the collection of personalities at the summit should be evaluated based on their actual records and past performances.

He argued at the 6:35 mark that many of the individuals involved have nothing new to offer, based on their recent histories as governors or ministers.

The aide maintained at the 6:50 mark that the opposition has failed to provide any superior arguments or programs to critique the current administration’s economic policies.

He challenged the intellectual depth of critics at the 10:42 mark, rejecting claims of a “Ponzi scheme” economy as unfounded.

Dare insisted at the 10:51 mark that the country is already on a path to recovery, with macroeconomic indicators improving and inflation beginning to slow down.

He revealed at the 11:15 mark that the opposition lacks what he described as principle and constitutional loyalty, seeking only to disrupt the system for political gain.

The aide argued at the 11:47 mark that it is unfortunate for sitting governors to reference dark historical episodes like “Operation Wetie” in modern political discourse.

He maintained at the 15:06 mark that those making demands regarding the INEC chairman or electoral laws must provide evidence and follow the proper constitutional path.

Dare insisted at the 16:59 mark that Nigeria remains a vibrant multiparty democracy and is not moving toward a one-party state.
