The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, Dr. Abdulahi Ganduje, has asserted that no political coalition or alliance will prevent President Bola Tinubu’s re-election in 2027.
His statement comes in response to former Vice President Atiku Abubakar’s announcement on Thursday about the formation of a coalition of opposition political parties aimed at defeating the ruling party and President Tinubu in the upcoming election.
In a statement issued on Thursday by his Senior Special Assistant on Public Enlightenment, Oliver Okpala, Ganduje reaffirmed his unwavering support for Tinubu’s re-election bid. He urged any northerner interested in contesting the 2027 election to defer their ambitions until 2031, emphasizing that his commitment to Tinubu’s re-election remains firm and resolute.
The statement read, “Tinubu will surely emerge victorious because of his untrammelled performance since he assumed office as President of Nigeria. Forget the recent political gatherings and rantings from some politicians who presently do not have any identifiable political base.”
Ganduje also dismissed the opposition coalition, which includes members from the Labour Party, PDP, SDP, and others, noting that these parties have divergent political ideologies and selfish interests that will prevent them from agreeing on any common political agenda.
“Their gathering from the Labour Party, PDP, SDP and others are people with different political ideologies and selfish political interests that can never agree on any issue politically,” Ganduje stated. “The gathering is an assemblage of people with divergent political interests. No amount of political arrangement or gang-up can stop the good people of Nigeria from re-electing Tinubu as President in 2027.”
