Social media commentator Shehu Gazali Sadiq has issued a strongly worded message to the United States Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), declaring that Nigerians will determine President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s political fate at the 2027 presidential election.
In a post shared on X, Sadiq directly addressed the CIA, alleging that Tinubu is an “asset” of the agency and insisting that Nigerians would remove him from office in 2027 regardless of whether the agency releases any files concerning the Nigerian president.
“Dear @CIA, Nigerians will remove your asset, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, from Aso Rock in 2027 whether you release his files or not.”
The statement has generated attention online, particularly because it links Nigeria’s upcoming 2027 election to longstanding discussions on alleged foreign influence in the country’s political affairs.
However, Sadiq’s characterization of Tinubu as a CIA “asset” is an allegation contained in his social-media post and has not been established by the source cited. The post itself provides no evidence to substantiate the claim.
Tinubu, who became Nigeria’s president following the 2023 presidential election, is expected to be a central figure in the 2027 political contest. The election is likely to generate intense debate over the performance of the current administration, opposition strategies and the direction Nigerians want the country to take.
Sadiq’s post therefore appears to frame the 2027 election as the ultimate decision-making point, arguing that Nigerian voters—not any foreign intelligence agency—will determine whether Tinubu remains in Aso Rock.
The original post was published by Sadiq’s X account and subsequently echoed by other accounts on the platform.
As political activity gradually builds ahead of 2027, statements such as Sadiq’s are likely to continue fueling conversations about Tinubu’s administration, foreign influence and the power of Nigerian voters to decide the country’s political leadership.
