The Presidency has urged opposition leaders attacking President Bola Tinubu to wait till 2027 to test their popularity with the electorate.
President Bola Tinubu’s Special Adviser on Media and Public Communications, Sunday Dare said 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 nothing 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.”
Last week, Atiku, El-Rufai, and Amaechi had launched criticisms against Tinubu and his All Progressives Congress-led administration.
At an event in Abuja, Atiku had accused the Tinubu-led APC of bribing opposition leaders with N50 million each. On his part, El-Rufai said he no longer recognizes the APC due to a lack of internal democracy.
