The Presidency has challenged opposition leaders attacking President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to wait till 2027 to test their popularity with the electorate.
According to Sunday Dare, President Bola Tinubu’s Special Adviser on Media and Public Communications, opposition leaders like former presidential candidates of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Atiku Abubakar, Peter Obi of the Labour Party, and Rabiu Kwankwaso of the New Nigeria Peoples Party, NNPP, Nasir El-Rufai and Rotimi Amaechi should wait till 2027, notiing 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.”
“This is 2025, not 2027. Let those who want to test their popularity with Nigerians wait for the next election.”
Last week, Atiku, El-Rufai, and Amaechi had launched criticisms against Tinubu and his All Progressives Congress-led administration.
