Stop Threatening President Tinubu With 2027, Politics Is not A Job

The Presidency has sent a message to those threatening President Bola Tinubu on the media with re-election in 2027.

The Senior Special Assistant to the President on Community Engagement (North Central), Abiodun Essiet, said Tinubu means well for Nigerian, stating that his policies are aimed at fixing the country’s economy.

Mrs. Essiet stated this in a brief post on her X handle on Tuesday. Her advice followed criticism of the Tax Reform Bill and threats from some critics that if the bill is passed, it would cost him the 2027 election.

Tinubu’s aide, while advising that “politics is not job”, noted that if the President did not mean well for the country, he would not have pushed the reforms he has been making for the growth of the country in his first term.

“Stop going to the media to threaten the president about 2027. You can continue to have breakfast meetings until 2027 because of the lack of joblessness. Politics is not a job.

“The president means well for the people of this country; no president will push for the type of reforms the president is pushing for in their first tenure (LGA autonomy, financial reforms, tax reforms).

“Most president will make such to their second tenure… So, it is not about 2027. It is about taking Nigeria to the promised land. Let’s stop politicizing every reform. Leave politics till 2026.

“We are solving the problem of multi-taxation through our tax reforms. Get some work and leave politics for now,” she wrote.

The Community Engagement Aide further charged Nigerians to read the Tax Reform Bill to have a better understanding of its contents.

“Read about the tax reform bills yourself, and don’t depend on social media influencers or other media platforms to educate you about the bills. Influencers are paid to create public sentiment around the reforms and are often politically motivated. Stop being gullible. Let’s keep engaging in intellectual discourse,” Essiet added.
