Jibrin: Tinubu will win 2027 even if opposition unites
Former House member Abdulmumin Jibrin predicts President Tinubu will secure re-election in 2027, claiming opposition has already lost its chances. Speaking on Arise Television Wednesday, the four-time lawmaker argued current political realities favor the ruling party regardless of opposition strategy or choice of candidates.
Jibrin maintained that even if key opposition figures unite behind a common platform, Tinubu would still emerge victorious. He specifically mentioned Atiku Abubakar, Peter Obi, and Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde as potential opposition candidates. The former lawmaker further noted that opposition divisions strengthen the President's electoral prospects.
'Even if they come together, the President will defeat them, not to talk about when they've split. The president will win this election, I tell you that,' Jibrin stated confidently. As Nigeria's political parties prepare for the 2027 elections, which opposition alliance strategy might actually challenge Tinubu's perceived dominance?
