Abdulmumin Jibrin, a four-time member of the House of Representatives, has confidently predicted that President Bola Tinubu will secure re-election in 2027. During an interview on Arise Television’s Prime Time on Wednesday, Jibrin stated that current political dynamics and the “reality on ground” heavily favor the President.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

He argued that the opposition has already lost its opportunity to unseat the ruling party. Jibrin asserted that Tinubu remains in a dominant position regardless of who the opposition fields or what strategy they employ.

The lawmaker declared:

“I will say on a general note, on a general scale, and with the reality on ground and all of the political dynamics that we can see, no matter how you analyse it… the opposition lost it already.”

He further added that even if prominent opposition leaders—such as Atiku Abubakar, Peter Obi, and Seyi Makinde—were to unite behind a single platform, President Tinubu would still prevail. Jibrin concluded that existing divisions within the opposition ranks only serve to strengthen the President’s reelection prospects.

Kenneth Okonkwo, a prominent chieftain of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), recently offered a critical assessment of Nigeria’s opposition landscape ahead of the 2027 general elections during an interview with Symfoni TV. The actor and politician argued that current maneuvers within the opposition risk undermining their collective ability to challenge President Bola Tinubu, as fragmented votes or lack of unity play directly into the incumbent’s hands.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

A central focus of Okonkwo’s critique was directed at the former Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi. Okonkwo highlighted that Obi had previously joined the ADC of his own accord only to exit abruptly before the party’s internal processes concluded. Questioning the resilience required for high-level leadership, Okonkwo asserted that those aspiring to the presidency must be prepared to endure internal party competition rather than evade it.

Expressing concern over the potential impact on the upcoming election, Okonkwo warned that supporting Obi in 2027 would effectively serve as an indirect vote for President Tinubu by splitting the opposition. He stated:

“It is either you are working for Tinubu directly, in other words you are in APC, or you are working for Tinubu indirectly, because when you divide the votes of the coalition and the opposition, you are still making Tinubu better placed to win… You want to be the president of a challenged country, and you are running away from challenges. In 2027, anybody voting any vote whatsoever to Peter Obi is voting for Tinubu, and don’t say I didn’t tell you.”
