Tinubu Should Be Judged By Policy, Performance, Not Certificate Controversy – Ndume

Former Senate Leader and chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, Ali Ndume, has urged opposition political parties to make the performance and policies of President Bola Tinubu the centre of their campaigns ahead of the 2027 presidential election.

Ndume, said the renewed controversy over Tinubu’s certificates was becoming a distraction from the issues that should dominate the campaigns.

According to him, opposition parties seeking to unseat the President should be prepared to tell Nigerians what they would do differently if elected, particularly on the economy and insecurity.

Ndume, however, dismissed the controversy, insisting that Tinubu had met the constitutional requirement for contesting the presidency.

He noted that Tinubu’s eligibility to contest the presidency had been subjected to litigation following the 2023 presidential election.

Ndume said the opposition should therefore concentrate on issues capable of influencing voters rather than revisiting questions that had already been extensively litigated.
