Grassroots Group Criticizes Abdullahi Over Tinubu's Mandate Extension Remarks

The Grassroots Mobilisation Initiative (GMI) has criticized Mallam Bolaji Abdullahi, the national publicity secretary of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), for his remarks on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's mandate. Abdullahi's statement suggesting that Nigerians would want Tinubu's tenure extended until 2027 was deemed misleading and disconnected from reality by the GMI.

The group highlighted the challenges facing the nation, including insecurity and economic hardships, and emphasized the need for governance that addresses these issues effectively. The GMI expressed concerns about the disconnect between Abdullahi's assertion and the sentiments of the Nigerian populace, calling for a more nuanced understanding of the country's current challenges.
