2027: 'Tinubu doing politics, wickedness since becoming president' – Atiku's aide replies Alake
The Senior Political Assistant to the African Democratic Congress, ADC, presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, Demola Olarewaju, on Monday accused President Bola Tinubu of “doing politics and wickedness” since assuming office in 2023.
Olarewaju said that instead of ensuring good governance, Tinubu had been busy wooing state governors to support his re-election bid in 2027.
He made the remark in reaction to an explanation by the Minister of Solid Minerals Development, Dele Alake, on why Tinubu would not visit all states to campaign.
Speaking during the inauguration of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council in Abuja, Tinubu said he could not visit all states for campaign activities because he would be focusing on governance.
Commenting on Tinubu’s position, Alake said the president had chosen 12 states to visit because they were “election deciders.”
Alake said, “The 12 states that President Tinubu chose to campaign in are actually election deciders; he should be commended for that. He is not going to abandon governance for campaigning.”
Faulting Alake’s remarks, Olarewaju insisted that Tinubu had no achievements to campaign on.
In a post on X, he wrote, “Bola Tinubu has been doing politics and wickedness since Day One instead of good governance, he was wooing Governors instead.
“Now time for campaign, but no achievement to campaign with. Instead, they want to pretend he’s too busy with governance. #TinubuMustGo abeg.”
2027: ‘Tinubu doing politics, wickedness since becoming president’ – Atiku’s aide replies Alake
Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) newcomers Ranchers Bees have appointed Ma’aji Muhammad as their new head coach for the remainder of the 2026/2027 season, following the departure of Technical Adviser Usman Abd’Allah by mutual consent.
Sports247 reports that the appointment comes after the Kaduna-based club suffered a disappointing 3-1 defeat to Shooting Stars in their Matchday 9 encounter in Ibadan on Friday, October 16, 2026.
Muhammad now takes charge of a Ranchers Bees side seeking to rediscover its form and improve its position in the league following a difficult start to the campaign.
The decision to appoint Muhammad represents a new chapter for the newly promoted side as they attempt to establish themselves in Nigeria’s top flight.
Ranchers Bees have struggled for consistency in their opening nine league matches, recording just two victories, two draws and five defeats. The club’s latest setback came against Shooting Stars, where goals from Desmond Ojietefian, Damilola Akinola and Qamar Adegoke condemned the Kaduna outfit to a 3-1 defeat.
Although Isah Ndala Aliyu scored for Ranchers Bees and goalkeeper Tofa saved a second-half penalty, their efforts were insufficient to prevent another defeat.
The result increased the pressure on the club’s technical crew and ultimately preceded Abd’Allah’s departure.
Abd’Allah’s tenure came to an end after just 115 days in charge. The club confirmed his departure alongside some members of the technical crew in an official statement.
“Ranchers Bees Kaduna confirms that the club has parted ways with Technical Adviser Usman Abdullah and some members of the technical crew by mutual agreement,” the statement read.
During his nine NPFL matches in charge, Abd’Allah recorded two wins, two draws and five defeats, collecting eight points from a possible 27. His departure leaves Muhammad with the responsibility of addressing the team’s inconsistent results and restoring confidence within the squad.
For Ma’aji Muhammad, the appointment presents an opportunity to guide Ranchers Bees through a crucial period of their return to top-flight football.
The new head coach will be expected to improve the team’s performances, strengthen defensive organisation and help the players convert competitive displays into positive results.
Having collected eight points from their opening nine fixtures, Ranchers Bees need greater consistency to avoid becoming embroiled in a prolonged struggle near the lower end of the table.
Muhammad will also face the challenge of motivating a squad that has endured a difficult sequence of results.
The coaching change underlines the club’s determination to improve its fortunes before the season progresses further.
With Muhammad appointed for the remainder of the campaign, attention will now turn to how quickly he can implement his ideas and produce a positive response from the players.
The coming fixtures will provide an early indication of whether the managerial change can deliver the improvement Ranchers Bees require.
For the newly promoted Kaduna club, the message is clear: Ma’aji Muhammad has been handed the responsibility of turning around a difficult start and helping Ranchers Bees secure their place in the Nigeria Premier Football League.
