Timi Frank, former Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress, APC, has said the re-election of Ademola Adeleke in Osun State showed that Nigerians, especially youths, can remove President Bola Ahmed Tinubu through the ballot in the 2027 general election.
He disclosed this in a statement on Monday.
Recall that Adeleke of the Accord Party defeated Bola Oyebamiji of the All Progressives Congress, APC, to emerge victorious in Saturday’s governorship election in Osun State.
DAILY POST reports that David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, played a significant role in the Osun election.
Reacting, Frank said Saturday’s poll in Osun was a demonstration of the power of the people and a possible pointer to the 2027 general election.
He noted that the citizens can overcome political pressure and other odds when they remain determined to defend their choices at the polls.
“President Tinubu may think he already has his election results in mind, but ultimately, it is the Nigerian people who will decide his fate through the power of their votes.
“Let 2027 not be business as usual. They must vote, stay, and see their votes counted, just as they have done in Osun.
“I commend the people of Osun for this new political ingenuity, where money is taken, yet still voted for the candidate of their choice. After all, the money belongs to us as citizens, as it was taken from government coffers.
“Going into 2027, I call on Nigerian youths and celebrities alike to borrow a leaf from Davido, as this is not the time to sit on the fence. Nigeria belongs to all of us,” he stated.
