ATIKU, OBI CANNOT UNSEAT TINUBU IN 2027, SAYS GAGDI

A member of the House of Representatives, Yusuf Gagdi, has said that former Vice President Atiku Abubakar and Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi do not possess the political strength required to unseat President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 general election.

Gagdi made the remark while commenting on the evolving political landscape ahead of the next electoral cycle.

According to the lawmaker, President Tinubu’s administration is implementing policies and reforms that he believes will strengthen public confidence and enhance the ruling party’s chances in future elections.

He argued that the opposition has yet to present a political strategy capable of matching the influence and structure of the All Progressives Congress (APC) across the country.

The lawmaker also expressed confidence in the APC’s ability to retain power, citing its national spread and established political network.

His comments have generated reactions from political observers and supporters of opposition parties, some of whom insist that the 2027 election remains open and will be determined by the performance of political leaders and prevailing national issues.

Analysts note that political activities ahead of the next general election are gradually gathering momentum, with parties and stakeholders already positioning themselves for future contests.

The remarks add to the growing debate over the likely contenders and dynamics that could shape Nigeria’s 2027 presidential election.
