In a statement issued in Abuja, Adebayo criticized Tinubu's plan to limit his physical campaigning ahead of the 2027 presidential election. The President announced his intention to focus on governance during the inauguration of the APC Presidential Campaign Council. Adebayo described Tinubu as a \"president in absentia\" and insisted that Nigeria requires active and visible leadership. He accused the President of being absent during critical moments, citing extended medical trips and absences during national emergencies. Adebayo argued that Tinubu's decision to avoid campaigning was driven by a fear of public reaction, not political strategy.

Adebayo urged Tinubu to relinquish power, stating that the country's interests should take precedence over political ambitions. \"It is time to face reality: step aside, go home, and let this country breathe,\" Adebayo said.",
