Former Sokoto State governor, Aminu Tambuwal, has said the 2027 general elections will not follow the same pattern as the 2023 polls.

Tambuwal, who spoke during an appearance on Politics Today on Friday, stated that the political atmosphere ahead of 2027 is already changing.

“Politics is dynamic, and virtually everything about people is dynamic. 2027 may not necessarily be a replay of the 2023 elections,” he said.

The former Speaker of the House of Representatives noted that new alliances and shifting interests among politicians and voters would shape the next election differently.

He also compared the forthcoming election to the 1979 presidential contest, which featured political heavyweights such as Shehu Shagari, Obafemi Awolowo and Nnamdi Azikiwe.

“I see a replay of 1979 in 2027 rather than the 2023 general elections. You wait and see. The dynamics Today are different,” Tambuwal added.

Tambuwal, who recently defected from the Peoples Democratic Party to the African Democratic Congress, also stated that he would not support any presidential aspirant until after party primaries are concluded.
