Tinubu’s Administration Deserves F9 In All Parameters — Sowore

The 2027 presidential candidate of the African Action Congress (AAC), Omoyele Sowore, has rated President Bola Tinubu’s administration “F9 across all parameters,” citing what he described as poor performance in security, the economy, education, healthcare, power supply and food security.

Sowore made the remarks on Tuesday during an appearance on Channels Television’s The Morning Brief, where he assessed the administration’s performance after three years in office.

Asked to identify any achievements of the government, Sowore said he could not point to any.

“Nothing, because I rate the government from a number of parameters, and one of them is security. You know where we are—failed.

“We’re talking about the power sector; the national grid has collapsed more than anything else in this country in the last three years.

“Talking about education: we are now asking our children to borrow to go to school.

“We’re talking about healthcare: even the president doesn’t go to Nigerian hospitals.

“You’re talking about food security: Nigeria is on the list of countries regarded as hungry to the point that the Food and Agriculture Organization considers Nigeria as one of the places you have to send food to in 2026 to feed its people.

“You’re talking about the economy: we have grown the number of poor people from about 70 million three years ago to 140 million. That doesn’t look good,” he said.

Sowore argued that the administration’s performance fell below acceptable standards, saying he could not award it even a passing grade.

“If you look at all these parameters, where can I fit even a good comment, where I can even grade them ‘F’? I can’t find it,” he added.

The AAC presidential candidate also said that if Tinubu were his student, he would ask him to leave the classroom.

“As I usually say, being a former professor or teacher—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,” he said.

When the programme’s presenter suggested that his remarks echoed those of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) presidential candidate, Peter Obi, who had urged Tinubu to retire, Sowore dismissed the comparison.

“No, I’m not asking him to retire. I’m asking him to go back to school,” he said.

Sowore is the AAC’s presidential candidate for the 2027 general election, while Tinubu is seeking a second term on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
