Dr. Bashir Lamido, the Pioneer Leader of Arewa Summit International, has declared that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu will undoubtedly be re-elected in 2027 due to the substantial support of powerful political personalities.
Lamido denied that the opposition might overthrow Tinubu while addressing reporters on Wednesday at the Abuja Expo and Ruhe Global Resources International Education Fair in Abuja. He emphasized that Tinubu’s political destiny has already been assured by his strategic alliances.
“The quality of political heavyweights supporting President Tinubu’s re-election makes it practically impossible for him to lose in 2027,” Lamido stated.
He identified important individuals as strong allies who would help Tinubu win, including former Delta State Governor James Ibori, former Zamfara State Governor Abdul’aziz Yari, former Abia State Governor Orji Uzor Kalu, and APC National Chairman Abdullahi Ganduje.
“People speculated that Yari, Kalu, and Ibori might join the opposition to unseat the president. I also heard that Nasir El-Rufai tried to create a rift between the president and Ganduje. But today, all these men have aligned with Tinubu. They are presidential materials in their own right, yet they have thrown their weight behind him. With this kind of support, Tinubu cannot lose,” he emphasized.
Lamido cited internal conflicts within the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) and Labour Party (LP) as reasons why the opposition could not muster a powerful coalition against the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
“When you talk about the opposition taking power, you should ask yourself, can they even agree among themselves? PDP and LP are deeply divided. Who will fly their ticket? Atiku Abubakar or Peter Obi? Nasir El-Rufai or Yemi Osinbajo? Rotimi Amaechi or Bukola Saraki? They all have presidential ambitions and are not ready to step down for one another,” he argued.
He added that Tinubu’s supporters are actively trying to solidify their hold on power in anticipation of the upcoming election, while the opposition is still unsure.
“The president’s men are already preparing. Yari is engaging in massive empowerment programs in the North, Kalu is doing the same in the South and even extending his influence to the North.
“They meet with the president regularly. There is direction, purpose, and everything is being streamlined for victory,” he said.
