2027: Nigerians tired of Tinubu's failed govt – Adebayo
The presidential candidate of the Social Democratic Party, SDP, Adewole Adebayo, says Nigerians are tired of President Bola Tinubu and his 'failed government'.
Adebayo spoke on Tuesday while fielding questions in an interview on Trust TV.
According to Adebayo, Nigeria is in a critical and dangerous state due to the lack of trustworthy authority.
"Nigerians are tired of Tinubu and his failed government. He has taken the cake in terms of disastrous government.
"Because in 2015, they had gotten tired of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, and its boast that they would rule for 60 years. They were not satisfied with President Goodluck Jonathan then, and they blindly went with change.
"At the end of the day, the government that came under Muhammadu Buhari was worse than that of Jonathan, and of course, Tinubu has taken the cake in terms of disastrous government.
"Politicians are vicious people. That is why everybody wants to be president. So when you have ambition, you can expect that ego is also involved.
"For someone to wake up in the morning and say, "I want to be president of Nigeria, he must have a bit of ego," he said.
Delta State Governor, Sheriff Oborevwori, has said the All Progressives Congress, APC, does not need to buy votes to win the 2027 general elections.
The governor insisted that the party has enough grassroots support to secure victory.
Oborevwori made the statement on Wednesday during the APC local government-by-local government campaign rally in Akwukwu-Igbo, headquarters of Oshimili North Local Government Area.
He said vote-buying was unnecessary for a party that enjoyed the support of the people.
"The APC has no reason to buy votes because the people are already with us. Vote-buying is only necessary for those who lack grassroots support," the governor said.
He recalled that Oshimili North recorded the highest number of votes in Delta State during the last election.
He expressed confidence that the APC would maintain or surpass the record in 2027.
"We expect our supporters to come out in large numbers and vote for the APC. We will also continue to deliver more development projects across the state," the governor said.

Nigeria’s U-17 women’s national football team, the Flamingos, have received a presidential reception at the State House in Abuja following their historic triumph at the 2026 FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup in Morocco.
Sporty247 reports that the First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, on Wednesday welcomed the victorious players and their technical crew at the Presidential Villa on behalf of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, celebrating the team for bringing honour and pride to Nigeria.
The reception witnessed the presentation of flowers to the players as the country continued to celebrate their remarkable achievement, which saw Nigeria become the first African nation to win the FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup.
The Flamingos secured the historic title after defeating Japan 2-1 in the final in Rabat, Morocco, with Awawu Bashiru and Oluebube Umejiaku scoring the decisive goals to seal Nigeria’s maiden championship in the competition.
The team’s triumph has also attracted financial recognition, with the Nigerian Senate pledging ₦100 million to the players in appreciation of their historic achievement.
The Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, described the victory as a significant milestone for Nigeria and African football, while calling for adequate rewards for the young champions and sustained investment in their development.
Sporty247 gathered that the reception at Aso Rock represents another significant moment in the celebration of the Flamingos’ achievement, with the young footballers continuing to receive recognition for their historic contribution to Nigerian sports.
The victory has further reinforced Nigeria’s reputation in women’s football, while inspiring young girls across the country to pursue their dreams and aspire to international success.
