35-Year-Old DLA Candidate Declares He Will Be Nigeria's Youngest President in 2027

Moses Adebisi, a 35-year-old presidential candidate for Nigeria's Democratic Leadership Alliance (DLA), has boldly declared his ambition to become the nation's youngest president following the 2027 general election. Adebisi, who is also a PhD candidate at Harvard University, positions himself as a fresh alternative to the current political landscape, directly challenging President Bola Tinubu and the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

The presidential candidate of the DLA is the youngest presidential candidate or the incoming president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, the youngest.

Adebisi's entry into the presidential race is framed as a response to calls from Nigerians who urged him to transition from his previous focus on empowerment programs to a more direct political role. He expressed that his decision was not initially part of his agenda but was prompted by a growing conviction that his work outside of formal politics could not sufficiently address the country's deep-seated problems.

As 35-year-old Harvard PhD candidate in the United States of America, I in the Department of Government, Political Thought and History, I decided to pick this responsibility that was brought to me because it was even not part of the agenda before.

His academic pursuits have included studying the economic reforms of China, visiting Beijing and Shanghai, and examining the United States' liberty agenda. These experiences, he believes, have equipped him with the insights needed to foster national transformation in Nigeria. Adebisi stated, "As 35-year-old Harvard PhD candidate in the United States of America, I in the Department of Government, Political Thought and History, I decided to pick this responsibility that was brought to me because it was even not part of the agenda before."

They beckon on me that you can’t stay in America and think you’re solving the Nigeria’s problem.

Previously, Adebisi was known for his empowerment initiatives, particularly those aimed at low-income market women and young Nigerians, including a grassroots digital literacy campaign. He now asserts that his preparation has solidified his belief in his capability to lead Nigeria and potentially unseat the incumbent administration. He conveyed a strong sense of impending change, suggesting, "The ship and the chariot of the oppressors is about to sink in this country."
