2027: Tinubu lacks stamina to continue in office – APM campaign

The Makinen-Daura Presidential Campaign Organisation (MDPCO), representing the Allied Peoples Movement (APM), has urged President Bola Tinubu to abandon his re-election campaign, stating that Nigeria requires a President with the necessary stamina to govern effectively. MDPCO Director of Strategic Communications, Richard Ihediwa, made these remarks in Abuja, criticizing the President's recent foreign trips, including a visit to Saudi Arabia for prayers.

Ihediwa argued that President Tinubu lacks the physical and mental stamina to handle the demands of campaigning, citing his recent flight to Mecca for prayers as an example. He emphasized that Nigeria has been regressing under Tinubu's leadership, and a younger generation should take over the presidency. Ihediwa praised Seyi Makinde, the APM's presidential candidate, for his experience, preparedness, and energy, asserting that he could work tirelessly to deliver on promises and implement an inclusive government of national unity.

Ihediwa called on Nigerians to vote out Tinubu if he fails to heed their counsel and withdraw from the 2027 presidential race. He dismissed the Federal Government's recent initiative to provide N50,000 monthly payments to vulnerable households as a desperate attempt to sway voters, stating that such measures alone cannot save the APC from defeat.
