Gehgeh Tells Tinubu Not To Seek Re-election
Financial expert and social media personality, Gehgeh, has urged President Bola Tinubu to step aside after his first term, insisting he has nothing more to offer Nigerians.
Gehgeh made the call in a video shared on the social media, where he faulted Tinubu’s leadership, dismissed a possible return of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, and threw his weight behind Peter Obi ahead of the 2027 presidential election.
Speaking directly to the President, Gehgeh described him as a father figure but advised him to take a cue from former President Olusegun Obasanjo, who retired to farming after leaving office.

“Tinubu, you’re like a father figure to me, let me advise you like a father and son. Sir, you can’t lead Nigeria, go and learn from Obasanjo. He’s now a farmer, learn from him. Leave Nigerians alone, you don old,” he said.
He accused Tinubu of being absent when Nigerians needed leadership most, alleging that the President was frequently abroad while citizens battled hardship.
According to him, Tinubu only shows up for photos and videos but disappears when serious national issues demand attention.
“The president we have in Nigeria is a president of ‘let me see what I can do’,” he said.
He maintained that Tinubu should not pursue a second term, declaring: “Tinubu, you rule for four years, nothing more you can give, leave there.”
On Atiku, Gehgeh argued that Nigerians had already experienced his leadership as vice president under Obasanjo and did not need him again.
“We don test Atiku before, he be vice president, we don’t want again, there’s nothing to rule again,” he said.
While labelling Obi an “online president,” Gehgeh said he would still prefer him to Tinubu or Atiku.
“Peter Obi, you be online president and an online president cannot win in Nigeria, but I rather vote for an online president than to vote for a settings president,” he said.
He called on Nigerians to give Obi a chance to lead, warning that he would relocate to Ghana if the former Anambra governor loses.
“Obi come and rule Nigeria, is your turn to rule and this is the last chance. And if Obi no win, nothing concern me with Nigeria again. Am using this opportunity to call on travel agents ahead, prepare my visa if Obi no win, am going to Ghana,” he added.
