Former Minister of Aviation, Hadi Sirika, has dismissed reports linking him to an opposition coalition allegedly plotting to unseat President Bola Tinubu in 2027.
Speaking on Wednesday during an interview on Channels Television’s Morning Brief, Sirika described the claims as unfounded, stressing that he has no involvement in the said coalition and will never be part of any move against the President.
Asked directly about the reports, the former Minister replied: “No, I am not. 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 coalitions; it is democracy.”
Sirika further clarified that his recent visit to Aso Rock was not political but a condolence visit to President Tinubu following 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,” he explained.
