ABUJA — Former Aviation Minister, Hadi Sirika, has dismissed reports linking him to an alleged opposition coalition working to unseat President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 elections.
Speaking on Channels TV’s Morning Brief on Wednesday, Sirika said he had no connection with the group and stressed he would never be part of such a move.
When asked directly about his alleged involvement, Sirika replied bluntly: “No, I am not.”
He explained that he even addressed the matter with Chief Bayo Onanuga, Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, during a recent meeting at the Presidential Villa.
“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 coalition, it is democracy,” Sirika said.
Clarifying his recent visit to Aso Rock, the former Minister stated it was purely to condole with President Tinubu over the passing 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,” Sirika explained
