Aminu Tambuwal, the former governor of Sokoto State, has distanced himself from a group of northerners allegedly seeking President Bola Tinubu’s removal. Nonetheless, he affirmed his commitment to achieving a democratic change of the Tinubu administration and the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the 2027 elections. Speaking on Channels Television, Tambuwal recounted a recent encounter with the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), saying the Tinubu administration is uncomfortable with his opposition activities within the African Democratic Party (ADC).
Tambuwal described his EFCC trial as politically motivated, linking it to his participation in a process aimed at democratically ousting the current government. He emphasized that he is “100 percent committed” to using constitutional and democratic means to bring about a change in leadership. He also highlighted his role in a national coalition that seeks a change of guard at Aso Rock through democratic procedures.
While acknowledging widespread discontent among Nigerians with the Tinubu administration, Tambuwal clarified that he is not part of a northern faction calling for the president’s immediate removal. Instead, he is focused on working within the constitutional framework to effect change through democratic channels. His statements come amid reports of growing opposition activity as parties and coalitions gear up for the 2027 elections.
Tambuwal’s stance reflects the evolving political dynamics in Nigeria, where opposition figures are positioning themselves for the upcoming polls. As the political landscape continues to shift, his activities—and those of other opposition leaders—will be closely watched and could play a pivotal role in shaping the country’s future. Nigerians are expected to monitor these developments closely as the 2027 elections approach.
