Allied Peoples Movement ( APM) presidential campaign organization has admonished President Bola Tinubu to jettison his re-election bid in the 2027 general election for the younger generation.
The APM, in a statement by the Director of Strategic Communication, Makinde-Daura Presidential Campaign Organization (MDPCO), Richard Ihediwa, on Sunday, said the President allegedly lacks the required stamina to lead a country like Nigeria.
The MDPCO, which was reacting to the President’s many. foreign trips, the latest being his visit to Mecca for prayers, just weeks after returning from a vacation in France, said President Tinubu could not withstand the rigours of campaigning and had to be flown to Mecca for prayers after his campaign flag-off in Kaduna.
“President Tinubu is no longer strong. He does not have the stamina to continue in office. It’s a natural tendency. All of us wish and pray to grow old, but we cannot continue to insist on holding office even when we no longer have the capacity, capability and stamina to effectively perform in the office.
“So, President Tinubu should quit and allow a younger generation to take over. The Presidency is not a retirement home. It is a very demanding office that requires a lot of stamina.
“Nigeria has been racing backwards in the last three and a half years because we have a president who is not able to lead from the front, who cannot physically oversee governance. President Tinubu at his age is not attuned to aspirations of the contemporary world. He cannot invest in current technologies because these things would be confusing to him.”
“So, President Tinubu should take the back seat and allow younger hands, like our presidential candidate, Engr. Seyi Makinde, to take over for the next four years to Reset Nigeria with an all-inclusive government of national unity,” it stated.
The campaign organization noted that the APM presidential candidate Seyi Makinde
possessed the experience, preparedness and energy required to work round the clock and deliver on promises
He stated, “Nigeria needs a president who can travel to every part of the country, spend quality time with citizens and remain actively engaged in governance, even into the early hours of the morning.
“This explains the enthusiastic reception accorded Makinde, his running mate, Lawal Daura, and the entire campaign train by Nigerians across the North-West, North-Central, North-East, South-South, South-West and South-East geopolitical zones.
“I want to use this opportunity to urge Nigerians to sustain the momentum, obtain their Permanent Voter Cards and vote out President Tinubu if he fails to heed our counsel and withdraw from the 2027 presidential race.”
Furthermore, MDPCO dismissed the recent Federal Government announcement of a monthly N50,000 payment to vulnerable households, under the National Emergency Relief and Stabilisation Intervention, as a failed attempt to procure Nigerians.
It stated that “such panic-driven financial measures cannot save President Tinubu and the APC from defeat. You can see that the APC was defeated in the Osun State governorship election despite the amount of money that they deployed.
“Again, if you look at the APC campaign flag-off in Kaduna, where over N2tn was reportedly spent to mobilise Nigerians, the campaign still flopped. This is an indication, that despite the APC government’s attempts to induce voters Nigerians are resolute on their determination to vote out President Tinubu in January, 2027.”
