“Tinubu’s Tenure Must End in 2027” – Former Ogun PDP Candidate Sowunmi Declares Presidential Ambition

Former Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate for governor of Ogun State, Otunba Segun Sowunmi, has stated his desire to run against the current government in the general elections of 2027 in order to remove President Bola Tinubu from office.

Sowunmi voiced his dissatisfaction with Nigeria’s current political climate when speaking at the North Central National Opposition Movement town hall meeting in Jos, Plateau State. He pointed out that the nation needs a paradigm shift to escape antiquated leadership methods.

Low voting turnout and some voters’ willingness to sell their ballots are causes for concern. Instead of permitting power to be concentrated within a select few, every person should actively participate in the political process in a democracy.

By encouraging people to create their own institutions and back politicians who share their interests and values, the movement seeks to give citizens the power to take charge of the political system.

“The creation of an alternative platform is a calculated step to enable voters to choose and back candidates who truly reflect their views, creating a more effective and inclusive political environment.

In order to ensure that democracy benefits everyone and not just a select few, he stated that it is the collective duty of all citizens to take part in forming their government.

The former PDP guber candidate emphasized that the movement is presented as a liberation struggle for all citizens, regardless of their socioeconomic background, and called on people to band together in demanding better government and to reject the idea that politics is solely for a chosen few.

“The Nigerian people have not been adequately served by the country’s current political system, which calls for a fundamental reassessment and change of the way politics is practiced.

“Citizens must actively participate in the political process as voters and change agents for democracy to flourish. This entails denouncing unethical behavior and holding leaders accountable,” he continued.
