Only God can stop President Bola Tinubu from winning the 2027 presidential election, according to former Labor Party (LP) vice-presidential candidate Datti Baba-Ahmed.
In an interview with Trust TV, Baba-Ahmed discussed the political climate leading up to the 2027 elections as well as the chances of the top presidential candidates.
The former LP chieftain acknowledged Tinubu’s capacity to create alliances and political structures over an extended period of time, despite his criticism of his policies.
“Even though I don’t entirely agree with him, he did what others were not able to do. He organised for 16 years, not just plan,” Baba-Ahmed said.
“He organised for 16 years against all odds, he brought in Buhari from retirement. Buhari is from across the Niger. He stood for that.”
“He (Tinubu) will not allow them (opposition) to come together. He probably actually chooses candidates in the opposition parties. He installs leadership in those political parties. He does what you and I cannot imagine,” he said.
Baba-Ahmed added, “If Tinubu says something will happen, only God Almighty can stop it. If he says to be declared in 2027, only God Almighty can stop it.”
Asked whether his assessment amounted to praise or criticism, he said it was open to interpretation.
“It is anybody’s business to interpret it anyhow. I only state the facts. And the fact is Nigeria now belongs to Tinubu.
It is quite evident that Datti is supporting Tinubu, given his recent statements and actions. As the 2027 elections approach, all eyes will be on how this support unfolds and influences the political landscape. Let’s wait and see what happens in 2027 to truly understand the direction this alliance will take.
Live with Purpose, Love with Passion. Remember to be happy
One ❤️❤️❤️
