2027: I’m Nigeria’s incoming youngest president, says 35-year-old DLA candidate

Moses Adebisi, a 35-year-old Harvard University PhD candidate, has announced his candidacy for the upcoming 2027 Nigerian presidential election, claiming to be the youngest presidential hopeful. The Democratic Leadership Alliance (DLA) candidate declared this in an interview with Arise TV, stating his decision to enter politics was driven by Nigerians urging him to take a direct role after his empowerment-focused activities.

His academic background includes studying political success and national transformation, and he cited his grassroots digital literacy campaign as evidence of his commitment to addressing Nigeria's challenges. Adebisi claimed to have extensively researched the economic reforms of China and the United States, believing this knowledge would enable him to defeat the incumbent president, Bola Tinubu, and his All Progressives Congress (APC) party in the 2027 election.

He emphasized the DLA's unique approach to political organization, which he described as a "submarine approach," allowing the party to operate without attracting attention. Adebisi urged Nigerian youths to support his movement, emphasizing the importance of their active participation in shaping the nation's future.
