Presidency Denies Tinubu's 'Life President' Speculation Beyond 2031
The Nigerian Presidency has refuted claims that former Governor Nasir el-Rufai suggested Bola Tinubu plans to become a 'life president' beyond 2031. The Presidency dismissed the speculation as unfounded and aimed at unsettling Tinubu's massive support, particularly in the North.
In response, the Presidency assured Nigerians that Tinubu has no intention to rule beyond May 2031, emphasizing his democratic principles. The statement highlighted the baseless nature of the claims and noted the significant support Tinubu continues to receive, especially in the North, dispelling the narrative of abandonment.
The Presidency criticized the attempts to associate Tinubu with a new party and highlighted the futility of such efforts.
