2027 Elections: Ooni of Ife Shares Tinubu’s Message to Traditional Rulers

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

The monarch reported that 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 planned protests over economic hardships scheduled for August 1-10, 2024.

The Ooni of Ife highlighted Tinubu’s call for dialogue and his commitment to alleviating the country’s economic challenges.

“The President 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 stated.

Previously, NIGERIA NEWS 247 reported that Tinubu assured that Nigeria’s economy is on the path to recovery, promising better days ahead.

This comes amid growing dissatisfaction among Nigerians regarding the state of the economy, with core and food inflation rates at 34.19 percent and 40.87 percent, respectively.
