PDP heavyweight Segun Sowunmi stirred conversations with a confident declaration during his interview on the MIC On Podcast, where he discussed his qualifications to compete on the same political stage as President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. When asked if he considered himself fit to contest against Tinubu in a presidential race, Sowunmi responded affirmatively, while commending Tinubu’s intellectual capacity in comparison to other critics of the current administration.

Despite his acknowledgment of Tinubu’s intellect, Sowunmi was unapologetic in asserting his own intellectual superiority. He positioned himself as a seasoned political thinker who has spent years engaging in rigorous debate and idea exchange, including with Tinubu himself.
