2027: What Tinubu discussed with us – Ooni of Ife opens up

The Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi, has conveyed that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu advised Nigerians dissatisfied with his administration to consider voting him out in the 2027 presidential election.

According to the monarch, President Tinubu made this remark on Thursday during an emergency meeting with traditional rulers, led by the Sultan of Sokoto, His Eminence Muhammad Sa’ad Abubakar III, in response to the looming hardship protests planned for August 1-10, 2024.

The Ooni of Ife noted that Tinubu called for dialogue and reiterated his commitment to alleviating the country’s economic hardships.

“The President has said, ‘Any leader that you don’t like, wait (until 2027) and vote him out.’ He is open to dialogue. We know that Nigeria faces many challenges. But are we going to destroy our nation by ourselves? Is that what we are all after?

“It is very difficult to build, but it is the easiest to destroy. We are all stakeholders in this country and are stronger as a nation than individually,” the Ooni of Ife said.

Earlier, News360 Nigeria recalled that Tinubu said Nigeria’s economy is on the path of recovery and gave assurance of better days.

This comes amid rising dissatisfaction among Nigerians on the state of the economy as core and food inflation stood at 34.19 percent and 40.87 percent, respectively.
