2027: Akande recounts how Buhari’s government humiliated Tinubu and urges Atiku to make sacrifices

Laolu Akande says Bola Tinubu was marginalized within the APC under Muhammadu Buhari, despite helping Buhari become president in 2015. Akande says he witnessed Tinubu being sidelined in meetings and recalls that nominees including Dele Alake and Wale Edun were reportedly rejected for ministerial posts. He says Tinubu stayed in the party, remained patient and organized politically before winning the presidency in 2023, including amid challenges over the naira redesign policy. Akande urged Atiku Abubakar to set aside personal ambition and help unite the opposition ahead of the 2027 election.
