- Attempts to Unseat Tinubu Will Fail — Sanwo-Olu
- President Tinubu is not only a builder of men but a visionary leader whose impact is evident across the nation – Sanwo-Olu
- Calls for continued confidence in President’s leadership
Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has expressed confidence that those pushing for a political alliance aimed at unseating President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in the 2027 elections will not succeed.
Eko Hot Blog reports that he dismissed the emerging coalition, which is aligning with the African Democratic Congress (ADC), a minor political party, as a mere distraction that President Tinubu should pay no attention to.

Governor Sanwo-Olu stated that Nigerians will continue to support the President in order to see the full benefits of his bold reforms. Speaking to a group of journalists and political figures in Lagos, he remarked, “Nigerians will never return to Egypt. The aim is to distract the Commander in Chief and disrupt the social and economic progress that is already evident. But President Tinubu understands the tactics and will not be misled.”
The coalition is reportedly made up of political figures such as former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, 2023 Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi, former Senate President David Mark, former Transport Minister Rotimi Amaechi, and former governors Nasir el-Rufai of Kaduna and Rauf Aregbesola of Osun. While critics see the group as a collection of discontented politicians, its supporters believe it offers a viable platform for their political goals.
According to Sanwo-Olu, President Tinubu’s accomplishments, leadership record, and reform initiatives are strong enough to withstand any attempts to undermine his administration or re-election prospects.
He pointed to achievements such as the stabilization of the foreign exchange market, the student loan program, large-scale infrastructure projects, increased revenue for states following the removal of fuel subsidy, tax reforms, higher oil production, and the implementation of a new national minimum wage.
“President Tinubu is not only a builder of men but a visionary leader whose impact is evident across the nation,” Sanwo-Olu said.
When asked whether the President and the All Progressives Congress (APC) were concerned about the African Democratic Congress (ADC) and its backers, Sanwo-Olu responded that they were not: “No one should be concerned or distracted by what ADC or any other group is attempting to orchestrate. The truth is clear, the people can see the difference, and history is on his side. They have nothing but bitterness to offer; they are bound together by their illogical resentment against President Tinubu, not by any edifying ideology. They will run out of steam”.
Asked what advice he had for the President, the Governor replied:”Simple. The President should stay the course. Millions of well-meaning Nigerians across party lines and compatriots, who understand what it takes to govern the most populous black nation on earth and revive a troubled economy, are behind him and trust his leadership.
“We know how far we’ve come under President Tinubu’s leadership. The focus should remain on delivering results, deepening reforms and building a stronger Nigeria. Any attempt to shake that foundation will be futile,” he added.
Amid rhetoric from ADC and other opposition voices, Sanwo-Olu called for calm, discipline, and continued confidence in the President’s leadership.
