Nigeria hasn’t learned from 2015, only AAC offers real change — Adeyeye

Olorunfemi Adeyeye, the National Publicity Secretary of the African Action Congress (AAC), has stated that Nigeria appears to have learned nothing from the political mistakes of 2015, warning that the country risks repeating the same cycle of leadership failure.

In a statement shared on his social media page Tuesday, Adeyeye declared that only the AAC offers a genuine alternative to the status quo, criticizing other opposition figures, particularly Peter Obi, for lacking clear ideological direction.

“Obi said he would do same things Tinubu is doing but in an organized manner,” Adeyeye wrote. “What is ‘organized manner’?”

The AAC spokesperson referenced a previous exchange with political activist Deji Adeyanju, stating, “This is what I meant when I replied Comrade Adeyanju Deji on the opposition debate.”

Adeyeye emphasized that being in an opposition party does not automatically make one part of the opposition, arguing that true opposition is defined by ideas and principles, not mere political affiliation.

“These guys are not opposing anything. Opposition is not being in another party. It’s about having an opposing idea and content,” he said.

He questioned the intent behind gaining political power without a clear ideological departure from the current system, warning against a repeat of past political cycles.

“Is the plan about grabbing power by any means, only to repeat what’s being done today? Just like APC did in 2015? That would only mean that we have not learnt anything.”

Adeyeye concluded by declaring the AAC as the only party offering real alternatives in today’s Nigeria, stating emphatically, “The AAC is the only opposition in Nigeria today!”
