The Presidency has challenged opposition leaders who have been attacking President Bola Tinubu to wait until 2027.

Sunday Dare, President Bola Tinubu’s Special Adviser on Media and Public Communications, has advised opposition leaders such as former PDP presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar, Labour Party’s Peter Obi, and New Nigeria Peoples Party’s Rabiu Kwankwaso, Nasir El-Rufai, and Rotimi Amaechi to wait until 2027 to test their popularity against the president.

Dare stated that the activities of the opposition leaders were premature.

In a post on X, Dare wrote: “While the President was seeking solutions to Nigeria’s energy problems in Dar es Salaam, some ‘wannabes’ were heating up the polity,” Dare added.

“This is 2025, not 2027. Let those who want to test their popularity with Nigerians wait for the next election.”

ZINGTIE recalls that Atiku, El-Rufai, and Amaechi recently criticised Tinubu and his All Progressives Congress-led administration.

At an event in Abuja, Atiku accused Tinubu’s APC of buying opposition leaders with N50 million each.

Atiku said that the money was intended to disorganise the opposition leaders.

El-Rufai, for his part, stated that he no longer recognises the APC because of a lack of internal democracy.

El-Rufai stated that APC organs had not convened in the past two years.

“I no longer recognise the APC. No party organ has met in two years—no caucus, no NEC, nothing. You don’t even know if it is a one-man show; it’s a zero-man show,” he said.

Similarly, Amaechi has called for “brutal force” to take over power from President Tinubu in 2027, claiming that the president will not give up.
