African Democratic Congress (ADC) has said the Bola Tinubu administration’s failure to deliver on its campaign promises and mismanagement in all sectors are clear signs that the President will lose the 2027 elections.
The party also fired back at the Presidency over its recent assertion that Tinubu has no plan to extend his tenure beyond 2031, describing the remarks as presumptuous and patently undemocratic.
In a statement by ADC National Publicity Secretary, Bolaji Abdullahi, the party asserted that the President’s mandate would end in 2027, and that the party was confident that Nigerians would not wish to extend his tenure by a single day, given the spate of banditry and killings across the country, the widespread hunger and suffering, the punitive taxes, the flagrant abuse of power at an unprecedented scale.
According to the ADC, any plan to stay in office beyond that date will be a confirmation that the present government is incapable of reading the room.
The party said: “The presidency’s desperate response to the recent remarks by former Governor Nasir el-Rufai, that President Tinubu has plans to be a life President, only serves to confirm what Nigerians have long suspected, that this administration is not only out of touch with reality; it has also become dangerously self-satisfied.
“That the President is already speaking of remaining in office till 2031 betrays a mindset that dismisses re-election as mere formalities, rather than a constitutional requirement to present his scorecard to the people. But re-election is not automatic, and Tinubu has not earned a second term.”
