President Tinubu Directs Ex-Governor Ayade to Step Down from 2027 Senate Race Former Governor of Cross River Senator Prof. Ben Ayade, has yielded to a directive from President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to withdraw his ambition for the Cross River North Senatorial District seat in the 2027 general elections. In an emotional statement released on Monday, Ayade disclosed that he was recently invited to Abuja for a high-level national consultation with the Presidency. Following the meeting, it became evident that the President wanted him to shelve his senatorial bid. “I yield to his request even as I pour tears of ill treatment and agony,” Ayade said. Ayade Lists Contributions, Appeals for Review. The former governor, who served two terms as governor and was a senator before that, recounted his significant contributions to the growth of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the South-South region. He noted that he was the first APC governor in the South-South and played a foundational role in building the party’s structure in Cross River State. During the 2023 presidential election, he delivered nearly 40,000 votes above the PDP’s performance in the state a historic feat. Ayade also reminded President Tinubu of his early support, stating that he was the first APC governor to push for Tinubu to be given the right of first refusal as the party’s 2023 presidential candidate. He popularized the slogan: “If Tinubu Can Fix Lagos, Tinubu Can Fix Nigeria.” Despite these efforts, Ayade said he has been sidelined for over three years without any federal appointment. He is, however, currently running a free transportation scheme as part of his campaign support for the President’s expected 2027 re-election bid. He appealed to the President to revisit the order, arguing that his federal constituency has only enjoyed senatorial representation for eight years, while his main opponent has had 20 years. Granting the opponent another term, he said, would amount to a fourth term in the National Assembly.

Keep bleating

Tinubu deserves smoke but you know who else deserves smoke but are flying under the radar and counting on you not to know their names? Your local government chairmen. Call them out today.

Again, Tinubu had the highest votes in that election. One could argue that maybe he needed help with constitutional two-third requirement. But most of those who voted that day, voted him.

If you understand chess, you’ll know that sometimes your opponent makes a move that forces your hand, if you don’t reposition immediately, it’s checkmate. That’s the situation Peter Obi was heading into. Staying put would have boxed him in completely. So this move isn’t random, it’s strategic, and honestly, his best option going forward. The plan seemed clear before; keep him in ADC, hand the ticket to Atiku Abubakar, and wait until the INEC deadline passes. At that point, Obi would have no viable platform left and would effectively be pushed out of the 2027 race. From a chess perspective, this move is simply him refusing to be checkmated.

Tinubu will be doing the younger generation of politicians a big disservice if he doesn’t document his political journey in a book form for them to read and learn from. He might end up as the greatest politician that has ever lived in this country.
