2027: ‘They’ve already lost it, Tinubu will defeat Atiku, Obi, Makinde joined together’ – Jibrin

A four‑time member of the House of Representatives, Abdulmumin Jibrin, has expressed confidence that President Bola Tinubu will win re‑election in 2027, arguing that the opposition has already lost its chances of unseating the ruling party.

Speaking on Arise Television’s Prime Time on Wednesday, Jibrin said the current political realities and dynamics favour Tinubu ahead of the next presidential election.

The lawmaker maintained that, regardless of the opposition’s strategy or choice of candidates, the ruling party remains in a strong position.

He added that even if key opposition figures—former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, former Anambra State governor Peter Obi and Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde—united behind a common platform, Tinubu would still emerge victorious.

Jibrin further noted that the opposition’s current divisions only strengthen the President’s prospects, predicting that Tinubu will win the forthcoming presidential election.

Jibrin said: “I will say on a general note, on a general scale, and with the reality on ground and all of the political dynamics that we can see, no matter how you analyse it, whether with one presidential candidate you did not imagine, whether with another candidate from Ibadan, emerging, however you look at it, the opposition lost it already.”

“I used to say something, even if they come together, the President will defeat them, not to talk about when they’ve split. The president will win this election, I tell you that.”
