Reactions have continued to trail comments made by Femi Fani-Kayode, who predicted a crushing defeat for opposition parties in Nigeria’s 2027 general elections.

In a post shared on X (formerly Twitter) on April 1, 2026, Fani-Kayode mocked the ADC’s recent activities, including its recruitment efforts and public engagements. He argued that the party’s internal divisions, factional disputes, and ongoing legal battles highlight its instability. For him, aligning with the ADC would be a wasted effort for politicians seeking relevance ahead of the next election cycle.
Despite his criticism, Fani-Kayode urged opposition figures to put aside their differences and work towards presenting a unified front. He called on them to resolve internal conflicts and avoid constant court disputes, noting that only a credible candidate would make the contest worthwhile.
