The presidential candidate of the Democratic Leadership Alliance, Moses Adebisi, has declared that he is the right person to defeat President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 presidential election.

Adebisi made the declaration while fielding questions on Arise Television’s Morning Show on Thursday.

He said Nigerians were currently being subjected to oppression by leaders who, according to him, were unconcerned about the welfare of ordinary citizens.

Adebisi said concerns that he could not effectively address Nigeria’s problems while living in the United States prompted him to study the factors that influence political emergence and electoral success.

“People beckon on me that you can’t stay in America and think you’re solving Nigeria’s problem,” he said.

He said he subsequently travelled to China to study the country’s economic reforms of 1978, visiting Beijing and Shanghai to understand the policies and strategies that transformed China from a peasant economy into a major global economic power.

According to him, he also studied the United States’ Liberty Agenda of 1774 as part of his efforts to develop a political and economic blueprint for Nigeria.

Adebisi said the knowledge gained from the studies had prepared him for the task of leading the country.

“I’m the right man for the job. And I’m the one that will defeat Tinubu this 2027,” he said.

He called on Nigerians, particularly youths, to support his political ambition ahead of the 2027 election.

“Nigerian people, come up now. The youths, come up now. Let’s go,” he added.
