Adebayo Warns Tinubu to Focus on Nigerians’ Suffering Instead of Planning for 2027
Prince Adewole Adebayo, presidential candidate of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) in the 2023 elections, has urged President Bola Tinubu to shift his focus from political alliances ahead of 2027 and pay closer attention to the growing frustration among Nigerians.
Speaking in a recent interview, Adebayo said Tinubu is smart enough to understand that the new coalition of politicians isn’t the real threat. According to him, “Most of those forming the coalition are close allies of the president. You’ll find countless photos of them together. They’re all part of the same political circle.”
He emphasized that the real danger lies in the dissatisfaction of ordinary Nigerians who are battling economic hardship. “What should worry the president isn’t political billboards or photo ops, but the actual pain people are going through daily,” he said.
Adebayo accused Tinubu of being more focused on securing a second term than addressing the country’s pressing challenges. “Let’s be honest. What we’re seeing isn’t an administration. It’s just a presidency. There’s no real governance going on,” he stated. He described the presidency as being disconnected from reality, run by a small circle of people who are out of touch with the struggles on the ground.
Adebayo didn’t hold back on the government’s handling of the economy either. He criticized the two budgets under Tinubu’s leadership, saying neither has provided real solutions. “Both budgets have failed to tackle the core problems, and the second one is even worse than the first. There’s no clear grip on employment or poverty,” he said.
He stressed that the best way to fight poverty is through job creation, something he believes the current government is failing at. “Until they get serious about creating jobs, the suffering will continue,” he warned.
Human rights activist and lawyer Deji Adeyanju has faced backlash after suggesting that opposition figures, including Peter Obi, could contribute to President Tinubu’s chances of re-election if opposition votes remain divided.
He stated “If Tinubu gets re-elected in 2027, blame Peter Obi and the other contractor-general. With all the insecurity and kidnapping in the country, they are the ones aggressively working for his second term by ensuring opposition votes are divided like they did in 2023.”
His comments sparked criticism from many Nigerians, who argued that Peter Obi is not the only opposition figure and should not be solely blamed for political divisions.
Nigeria’s Minister of State for Defence, Bello Matawalle, has expressed confidence that the northern region will support President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in the next election.
According to Matawalle, the administration has delivered major infrastructure projects and development initiatives across the region.
“For us in the North, our votes for the APC and President Tinubu will show clearly that we appreciate what he’s doing for the region.”
He added “If you see the dualisation of the Abuja–Kaduna, Zaria–Sokoto, and Ilela–Badagry expressways, you will agree with me that the North is experiencing key projects it never had in the past, even when a northerner was president.”
It was reported and revealed by the National Coordinator of the Obi Movement that an attack occurred at the movement against Peter Obi in Edo State.
He stated that the armed people had guns and shot at Peter Obi and his members of the movement.
“At the formal declaration of Olumide Akpata into the African Democratic Congress, armed individuals followed us from the ADC Secretariat to the residence of Chief John Odigie-Oyegun.
They shot at the gate and destroyed several vehicles in what appears to be a survived assassination attempt on our lives. Democracy is in danger.”
