Cleric advises Tinubu to abandon 2027 re-election bid over economic woes
Apostle Oluwarotimi Adeyeye calls for urgent attention to Nigeria's economic and security issues.

Apostle Oluwarotimi Adeyeye, the Founder of the Clear Revelation Ministry, has urged President Bola Tinubu to reconsider his intentions to run for re-election in 2027. During a recent interaction with journalists, Adeyeye expressed his deep concerns regarding the prevailing economic and security challenges facing Nigeria.
The cleric highlighted that the current state of the nation is dire, particularly for those living at the grassroots level. He emphasized that the political leadership has failed to adequately address the pressing issues affecting ordinary citizens. "The country is not well. It is not rosy for people. It is only those on top of the ladder that are doing what they like," Adeyeye stated, pointing out the stark contrast between the experiences of the elite and the struggles of the average Nigerian.
Adeyeye's remarks come at a time when many Nigerians are grappling with rising hardship, which he noted has led to an increase in the number of beggars on the streets. He called for immediate action from political leaders to alleviate the suffering of the populace. The cleric's plea is rooted in his assessment of the country’s current situation, which he believes necessitates a change in leadership priorities rather than an ethnic-based argument.
The call for Tinubu to step back from the 2027 race reflects a growing sentiment among some Nigerians who feel that the government's focus has strayed from addressing fundamental issues such as economic stability and security. As the nation continues to face these challenges, Adeyeye's appeal underscores the urgent need for political accountability and responsiveness to the needs of the people.
In light of these developments, it remains to be seen how the Tinubu administration will respond to such calls and whether there will be any shifts in the political landscape as the 2027 elections approach.
