A former Sokoto State governor, Aminu Tambuwal, said he was committed to the project to defeat President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 general elections.
Tambuwal, a member of the opposition coalition, described the plan to oust Tinubu’s government as a “national consensus”.
Read him: “I am fully involved in a process — democratically and lawfully — that will end, by the grace of God, in sending this government out of office.
“With the help of God and Nigerians, we will send these people out of office.”
The former speaker of the House of Representatives dismissed claims that the coalition was a pro-northern Nigeria agenda to remove President Tinubu come 2027.
According to him, “It is a national consensus. Is Peter Obi from Northern Nigeria? Is Aregbesola not from Osun State?”
He declared: “There should be a change of guards in Aso Rock through a constitutional, democratic process on May 29th, 2027”.
He pointed the finger at the federal government for failing to deliver democracy dividends to Nigerians.
He downplayed the perceived power of incumbency by the Tinubu government, saying it was not sacrosanct.
He declared: “It is not cast in stone that he may not lose in 2027. Every effort being made to make it as if he is invisible – that Bola Tinubu cannot be defeated — is rubbish.
“He can be defeated. I believe so, and I am working along with the coalition leaders to do that in the interest of the country. It is not about Bola Tinubu. It is about the way he is running the country.”
A few months ago, some political heavyweights including ex-Vice President Atiku Abubakar, Peter Obi; ex-Osun governor, Rauf Aregbesola; ex-Senate President David Mark; former governor of Rivers State, Rotimi Amaechi, among others floated the coalition.
They vowed to unseat Tinubu when Nigerians go to the polls in 2027, but the APC has dismissed the move, describing it as laughable.
