Sowunmi calls for end to Tinubu’s rule, announces Presidential ambition for 2027

Otunba Segun Sowunmi, former gubernatorial candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ogun State, has announced his intention to run for president in the 2027 general elections, aiming to bring an end to President Bola Tinubu’s administration.

Speaking at the North Central National Opposition Movement town hall meeting in Jos, Plateau State, Sowunmi criticized Nigeria’s current political system, advocating for a shift away from outdated leadership practices.

He emphasized the need for a more inclusive and participatory political environment.

“There is growing concern over low voter turnout and the willingness of some citizens to sell their votes. In a democracy, every citizen must engage in the political process, not allow power to remain in the hands of a few,” Sowunmi stated.

He revealed that the movement is focused on empowering citizens, urging them to build their own political structures and support candidates who genuinely represent their values and needs.

“The goal is to establish an alternative platform that empowers citizens to select candidates who reflect their interests, creating a more inclusive and effective political landscape,” he said.

Sowunmi called on Nigerians to unite and demand better governance, rejecting the idea that politics should be reserved for the elite. He argued that the current political system has failed the people, calling for a thorough reevaluation and reform to ensure democracy serves the entire population.

“For democracy to thrive, citizens must actively participate—not just as voters but as advocates for accountability and change,” he added.
