AAC presidential candidate Omoyele Sowore has slammed President Bola Tinubu’s administration with a scathing ‘F9’ rating after three years in office, saying he can find “nothing positive” across security, power, education, healthcare, food security, and the economy.
During an appearance on Channels Television’s The Morning Brief on Tuesday, the Sahara Reporters publisher delivered a blistering assessment of the Tinubu administration, comparing the president to a student who should be asked to leave the classroom.
“Nothing, because I rate the government from a number of parameters,” Sowore said when asked to identify any positives.
Sowore’s Damning Indictment
The AAC flagbearer broke down his criticisms across key sectors:
Security: “Failed.”
Power: “The national grid has collapsed more than anything else in this country in the last three years.”
Education: “We are now asking our children to borrow to go to school.”
Healthcare: “Even the president doesn’t go to Nigerian hospitals.”
Food Security: “Nigeria is on the list of countries regarded as hungry to the point that the FAO considers Nigeria as one of the places you have to send food to in 2026.”
Economy: “We have grown the number of poor people from 70 million about three years ago to 140 million. That doesn’t look good.”
“Tell me, if you look at all these parameters, where I can fit even a good comment, where I can even grade them ‘F’? I can’t find it,” Sowore declared.
‘Ask Him to Leave the Class’
The former presidential candidate, who described himself as a former teacher, said Tinubu’s performance wouldn’t pass in his classroom.
“Being a former professor or teacher – professors are what they call teachers in the US – I would just ask the administration to leave. That would have solved it.
“But if Tinubu were to be in my class, I’d just ask him to go and find another school. Or go and learn…”
When the presenter noted that his remarks aligned with Peter Obi’s suggestion that Tinubu should retire, Sowore quickly rejected the comparison.
“No, I’m not asking him to retire. I’m asking him to go back to school,” he shot back.
Sowore is the AAC presidential candidate for the 2027 election, while Tinubu is seeking re-election on the APC platform.
