Former Minister of Youths and Sports Development, Solomon
Dalung, has warned that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu may be forced to return to
Lagos after just one term in office.
Dalung, who is a chieftain of the African Democratic
Congress (ADC), gave the warning in an interview with the Nigerian Tribune on
Saturday.
According to him, the failure of both the ruling All
Progressives Congress (APC) and the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)
to meet the expectations of Nigerians has opened the door for new political
forces like the ADC.
“Tinubu may come to the conclusion that he should be
preparing to return to Lagos by May 29, 2027,” Dalung said.
He noted that many Nigerians are tired of the worsening
economic hardship, insecurity, and poor governance, stressing that citizens
will soon demand a new political direction.
Dalung dismissed President Tinubu’s earlier description of
the ADC as a camp for internally displaced politicians, saying the party is
fast emerging as one of the strongest platforms ahead of the 2027 general
elections.
“The ADC is not just another minor opposition party. We are
building a movement that will shock even the most doubtful Nigerians,” he said.
Although he did not unveil specific strategies, the former
minister explained that the ADC is in talks with stakeholders across the
country and will present credible candidates who can challenge the current
system.
