As Nigeria edges closer to the 2027 presidential election, President Bola Tinubu has declared that he is prepared to battle his political opponents until the very end.

Tinubu made the remarks on Tuesday while receiving members of the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of Nigeria (CBCN), led by its President, Most Rev. Matthew Ndagoso, at the Presidential Villa.

The President also maintained that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) remains impartial in the discharge of its electoral responsibilities.

He said, “I asked for this job. I’m in it. Those who will take it from me will try. They will try. All is fair in politics, and it’s equal opportunity.

“INEC, you mentioned, is neutral. They’ve never, never intimidated anybody. If political opponents are crying wolves, maybe they are afraid of their own shadows and the uncertainty in the companies they keep, not me.

“I’m ready, but I won’t give them a red carpet. I won’t offer them the leash to tie me and rope me. No, we wrestle each other to the finishing point.”

Nigeria’s 2027 general election will begin with the presidential poll scheduled for January 16, 2027.

Elections for the Senate and the House of Representatives are also expected to take place on the same date nationwide.

Governorship and State House of Assembly elections have been fixed for February 6, 2027.

Tinubu, who will represent the All Progressives Congress (APC), is expected to face candidates including Atiku Abubakar of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Peter Obi of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), and other contenders in the presidential contest.
