“Tinubu may come to the conclusion that he should be preparing to return to Lagos by May 29, 2027,” Dalung said.
Former Minister of Youth and Sports Development, Solomon Dalung, has warned President Bola Tinubu that he could return to Lagos after completing just one term in office. Dalung, a chieftain of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), expressed confidence that the party is building a strong coalition capable of defeating the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the 2027 general elections.
“Tinubu may come to the conclusion that he should be preparing to return to Lagos by May 29, 2027,” Dalung said in an interview with the Nigerian Tribune.
He attributed this possibility to worsening economic hardship, insecurity, and governance failures, which he believes will push Nigerians to seek a new political direction. Dalung also dismissed Tinubu’s earlier remark describing ADC as a camp for “displaced politicians,” saying, “The ADC is not just another minor opposition party. We are building a movement that will shock even the most doubtful Nigerians.”
