The Pioneer Leader of Arewa Summit International, Dr. Bashir Lamido, has stated that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s re-election in 2027 is inevitable, citing the strong backing of influential political figures.
Speaking to journalists on Wednesday at the Abuja Expo and
Ruhe Global Resources International Education Fair in Abuja, Lamido ruled out
the possibility of the opposition defeating Tinubu, stressing that the
president’s strategic alliances have already secured his political future.
“The quality of political heavyweights supporting President
Tinubu’s re-election makes it practically impossible for him to lose in 2027,”
Lamido stated.
He named key figures such as former Zamfara State Governor
Abdul’aziz Yari, former Abia State Governor Orji Uzor Kalu, APC National
Chairman Abdullahi Ganduje, and former Delta State Governor James Ibori as
formidable allies ensuring Tinubu’s victory.
“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 dismissed the opposition’s ability to form a strong
coalition against the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), pointing out
internal divisions within the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) and Labour Party
(LP).
“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 further noted that while the opposition remains
undecided, Tinubu’s allies are actively working to consolidate power ahead of
the next election.
“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.
