Presidency Denies Tinubu's Indefinite Rule Plan Beyond 2031
The Presidency has refuted claims that former Governor Nasir el-Rufai suggested that President Bola Tinubu plans to rule indefinitely, assuring Nigerians that Tinubu has no intention to extend his rule beyond 2031. Special Adviser to the President on Information Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, labeled the speculations as baseless and unfounded, emphasizing Tinubu's democratic principles.
The statement aimed to dispel rumors of Tinubu's alleged ambition to become a life president after the 2027 elections. Onanuga highlighted Tinubu's widespread support, particularly in the North, dismissing any association with a new party to prevent his potential 2027 candidacy.
The reassurance comes amidst growing political speculations and Tinubu's increasing popularity in certain regions.
