I Resigned As President Tinubu’s SSA On Public Affairs To Work Against His Re-election In 2027-Aliyu Audu

Mr Aliyu Audu, who resigned as President Bola Tinubu’s  Senior Special Adviser on Public Affairs a few days ago, has disclosed that he took this decision to actively work against the president’s re-election in 2027.

Team@orientactualmags.com learned that Mr Audu said this while appearing on Channels Television’s Sunrise Daily programme on Monday.

 ‘I think it’s a matter of principle and living for something greater than oneself. It’s about believing that Nigeria is not beyond fixing. It’s about knowing what loyalty is, to what and to who loyalty should be absolute.

Being bold enough to make a decision even if it comes at a personal cost. Even if the future is uncertain, I would rather face an uncertain future than be certain about an immoral today’ he said.

While claiming that the Tinubu administration has missed the path in respect of the president’s campaign promises, he also alleged that President Tinubu has placed revenge above national unity.

 ‘It is no news that there was some sort of relationship between the former governor of Rivers State, who is the current Minister of FCT, and the current president. In all honesty, there were many justifiable reasons behind that because we were heading for the election and the only thing bigger at that time was ensuring that we put our best foot forward. Clearly, from 1999 till date, there has been no better leader than the current president politically and administratively.

It was a hard-fought battle and everything was against us. It also seemed like our party was against us. It took the belief of a few people who understood what we needed and the kind of president we needed to succeed the former president to keep us on that track of actualizing Nigeria. It was a hard fight and we won. God blessed us with victory. We were to unite the country and relieve the country as a people in victory.

But when it gets to a stage where our leading figure (the President) prioritizes revenge over collective progress. We know what PDP did to the opposition between 2003 and 2007, specifically. We know what former President Olusegun Obasanjo did as president—how he muscled his way into taking the entire Southwest, which was manned by this man (Tinubu) at the time. It didn’t just stop there and it went on, but he (Tinubu) survived it’ Audu submitted.

He also disclosed that his conscience will not allow him to remain a member of Tinubu’s team and still work against his re-election while noting that the president’s recent assertion that he does not have ‘a one- party state’ in view was also a factor that influenced his decision to quit.

‘It confirmed it on one hand and on the other hand, it strengthened my resolve not to work for him in 2027. I couldn’t in good conscience remain in his government while plotting his removal. Because I will. By God, we will remove President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in 2027. We will reinstall a leader chosen by the people, not imposed. It won’t be Emi lo kan — it will be Gbogbo wa lo kan (it’s everyone’s turn)’ he added-Team@orientactualmags.com  Do you have any information you wish to share with us?
