A member of the All-Progressives Congress in Osun State Olatubosun Oyintiloye, said all forms of political gang-up against President Bola Tinubu ahead of the 2027 elections will not yield any result.
Mr. Oyintiloye was speaking against the background of moves by Peter Obi, Nasir El-Rufai to forge a united front against the APC in 2027.
“Take it or leave it; no amount of political gang-up can stop the re-election of President Tinubu in 2027,” Mr Oyintiloye, a former lawmaker, told journalists Sunday in Osogbo.
“Those who are gathering against him ahead of 2027 should try and study the kind of person the president is,” said Mr Oyintiloye. “He has the winning strategy and is raising men and women of goodwill across Nigeria.
“The president will succeed, and his political enemies will realise the mistakes they are making by not supporting him.
“Those who are whipping up sentiments against the president should check his track records, achievements and popularity across Nigeria.
“Tinubu’s political strength, strong connection, influence and resilience, which made him triumph over all obstacles to win in 2023, will see him through in 2027,” he stated.
Mr. Obi who was the Labour Party presidential candidate in the 2023 election has been meeting with some Northern State governors, while former Kaduna State governor, El-Rufai a founding member of the APC defected from the party and joined the Social Democratic Party. He has called on all aggrieved former APC members like Rotimi Ameachi and Rauf Aregbesola to hop on board and prepare for the battle to wrest leadership from President Tinubu in 2027.
