Human rights activist and former presidential candidate, Omoyele Sowore, has declared that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu will not secure a second term in office, intensifying political criticism ahead of the 2027 elections.
Fresh attack on Tinubu
Sowore made the remark while speaking on the state of the nation, insisting that Nigerians are currently facing hardship under Tinubu’s administration.
“I can assure Nigerians that Tinubu is not coming back, he’s a one-term president, he’s sucking the life out of Nigerians,” he said.
His comments come amid growing political tension, with opposition figures increasingly questioning the government’s economic and governance policies.
Concerns over electoral reforms
Sowore has also been vocal about recent electoral developments, particularly the amended Electoral Act.
He criticised the Electoral Act (Amendment) Bill 2026, warning that it could undermine Nigeria’s democracy if not properly implemented.
The criticism followed President Tinubu’s signing of the amended law at the State House in Abuja, a move that has continued to generate reactions from political stakeholders and citizens.
Political tensions ahead of 2027
The latest statement adds to ongoing debates over governance and the future of Nigeria’s democracy as the 2027 general elections draw closer.
Opposition voices have continued to call for credible, free, and fair elections, while scrutinising policies of the current administration.
