Adebayo Critiques Tinubu's Views on Power Dynamics

Adewol Adebayo, a former presidential candidate and member of the Social Democratic Party (SDP), expressed his views regarding President Bola Tinubu's perspective on power dynamics in Nigeria. Adebayo stated that Tinubu believes asking the populace for power is a "waste of time." This assertion was made in the context of Tinubu's recent actions, including signing the Electoral Act 2022 repeal and re-enactment bill, which was passed by the National Assembly within 24 hours.

The new law retains manual collation of election results while allowing for electronic transmission as a backup. Adebayo's comments reflect a broader critique of Tinubu's approach to governance and the electoral process, suggesting a disconnect between the leadership and the electorate.
