ADC Says Tinubu Should Forget About 2031 and Get Ready to Hand Over Power in 2027
The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has strongly criticized the Presidency over its recent claim that President Bola Tinubu has no intention of staying in power beyond 2031.
In a statement released on Tuesday by its National Publicity Secretary, Mallam Bolaji Abdullahi, the opposition party dismissed the remarks as arrogant and undemocratic. It stressed that Tinubu’s tenure ends in 2027 and insisted that Nigerians deserve and will choose a more competent leader by then.
The ADC expressed deep concern over the worsening state of the nation, particularly the collapse of the naira, rising insecurity, and the harsh economic climate. According to the party, the government has failed to address the suffering of ordinary Nigerians.
“Security has become a national tragedy,” the statement read. “Terrorists and bandits operate freely, citizens are abducted in broad daylight, and rural areas are under siege. The government has shown neither the strength nor the resolve to tackle this menace.”
On the economy, the ADC noted that inflation is spiraling, food prices have tripled in many regions, and jobs are disappearing. It added that businesses are struggling under inconsistent policies and heavy taxation, pushing more Nigerians into hunger and poverty.
The party concluded that rather than talk about extending power, President Tinubu should face the reality of Nigeria’s dire situation and prepare to hand over in 2027.
It was reported that former Nigerian president Goodluck Jonathan has allegedly purchased a presidential candidate form for the 2027 elections.
It can be noted that Jonathan served as Nigeria’s president from 2010 to 2015.
This information was revealed by Sani Useni, a special assistant who made the claim. Many reacted to the news, with some expressing interest in seeing Jonathan return to power after staying relatively quiet politically since his administration ended.
However, Jonathan has not yet addressed the public or officially shared any presidential ambition.
The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has reacted to the recent abduction incident in Oyo State.
It can be recalled that schools were attacked by armed men, with some teachers and students reportedly taken. Some people were also killed during the attack.
CAN cried out on behalf of the public, stating “It is intolerable, disgraceful and utterly unacceptable that Nigerian children can no longer sit safely in classrooms without the fear of being kidnapped by armed gangs.”
The organisation also stated that Nigerians are tired of constantly mourning and questioning when something will finally be done to stop the violence.
The Governor of Oyo State, Seyi Makinde, has revealed that seven teachers were abducted following a recent attack on a school in the state.
It was also shared that the number of students taken is still being investigated.
The governor further revealed that some people were killed during the attack and abduction.
He also added “With the pressure on the terrorists and the bandits in the North-West, they will keep moving southward.”
“When you have pressure in one place, we must be prepared on this side to either repel or neutralise any terrorists fleeing the pressure points.”
