MAP Critiques Tinubu's Campaign Absence, Supports Adebayo

The Movement Adebayo for President (MAP) criticized President Bola Tinubu for his reported decision not to engage directly in the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential campaign ahead of the 2027 general election. MAP urged Nigerians to consider Adewole Adebayo, the candidate from the Social Democratic Party (SDP), as an alternative.

The group emphasized the importance of presidential candidates directly engaging with voters to address economic, security, and governance challenges. In a statement titled “Choosing Between President Tinubu and Citizen Adebayo: A Social Democratic Manifesto That Signposts National Redemption,” MAP called for an assessment of candidates based on their policy proposals and plans for national development.

They highlighted Adebayo’s manifesto, "Farewell to Poverty and Insecurity," which outlines measures to tackle poverty and improve national security. The manifesto identifies 12 priority areas and proposes a four-year implementation framework, including the establishment of a Presidential Delivery and Performance Office and measures to enhance security and economic opportunities.
