Ambassador-designate Femi Fani-Kayode has said the opposition against President Bola Tinubu will surely gather, but will have no effect on him.

In a statement on X, Fani-Kayode accused the opposition of relying on fake news to cause panic and destabilise the government.

He urged members of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) to come together and prepare for the battle ahead.

He said, "It is clear that the strategy of the opposition is to spread fake news in the media in order to create tension and panic in the ranks of the Government and the ruling party, knock our heads together, create dissection in our ranks and plant doubts in our minds about our ability to win.

"Every day they come up with something new like the fake news about the Governor of Nassarawa state working for Atiku. Tomorrow it will be someone else.

"The space is getting heated up now and judging by their level of desperation and their inclination for disinformation, those of us that are in the APC and that are supporting President Tinubu must close ranks and brace ourselves for the mother of all struggles in 2027.

"The Holy Bible says, 'surely they shall gather, but it shall not be of me. Whosoever gathers against thee shall be scattered for thy sake'.

"On its own part, the Holy Koran says, 'surely they are planning, but Allah is the greatest planner of all'.

"No matter how many local collaborators and traitors with the help of their foreign friends, are trying to destabilise our Government and country and set us on fire, one thing remains clear: light cannot be overcome by darkness and evil cannot prevail over good.

"I have no doubt that, despite the fact that they are gathering together more and more each day, we shall surely overcome.

"What we need to do is to get our act together, prepare our battle formations and rise up to the occasion by bringing some of our youngest, brightest and most courageous youths into the fray and the forefront of the fight.

"By God's grace, the President shall be re-elected in 2027 and Nigeria shall continue to go from strength to strength.

"God wills it!"
