Adesina’s clarification is coming after some sections of the country’s media reported that he wants to contest for the top job in 2027
The former minister of agriculture explained on X that “A segment of my recent interview on @ARISEtv has been both misinterpreted and misrepresented in several Nigerian media outlets.
What I said was, “I will be available to serve in any capacity, globally, in Africa, anywhere, including my own country.”
For clarity and for the record, I did not say that I am running for the office of President of Nigeria.
