President Bola Tinubu's prolonged absence from public and political affairs has sparked constitutional concerns among Nigerian opposition groups. The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has raised alarms over the president's lack of visibility, particularly during critical moments, while Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo remains active. Meanwhile, Atiku Abubakar’s aide has called for Tinubu’s impeachment, highlighting growing political tensions.
Legal battles also intensify as the All Progressives Congress (APC) argues that a substituted service application against Tinubu is unnecessary. The Federal High Court in Abuja is set to review the case, which could impact the ruling party’s stability. In another development, former Speaker Aminu Masari praised Tinubu’s economic plans, suggesting a potential shift in political support.
Political rivalries continue to escalate, with the Obidient Movement threatening to resist any election manipulation, targeting FCT Minister Nyesom Wike and Tinubu allies. These tensions underscore the complex landscape of Nigerian politics ahead of the 2027 elections.
The situation reflects deepening divisions, with constitutional questions, legal challenges, and political maneuvering shaping the nation’s political future.
