African Action Congress presidential candidate, Omoyele Sowore, has vowed to reverse the naming of public infrastructure and national assets after President Bola Tinubu and other serving public officials if elected president in 2027.
Sowore made the declaration in a statement posted on his Facebook page on Friday while reacting to the Federal Government’s decision to rename the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway in honour of President Tinubu.
He described the move as inappropriate and promised that his administration would undo such decisions if he wins the 2027 presidential election.
“The naming of highways, national institutions, and public assets after officials of the Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu regime that impoverished Nigeria and those who enabled its decline will be reversed as a matter of urgency under a #Sowore2027 administration,” he wrote.
His reaction followed Thursday’s announcement by the Minister of Works, David Umahi, that the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway had been renamed the President Bola Ahmed Tinubu Coastal Highway.
Umahi said the decision was made in recognition of Tinubu’s long-standing vision for the coastal highway project.
