2027 presidential election: 'Who will run against him?' — APC Chieftain says no politician can defeat Tinubu

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu President Bola Ahmed Tinubu

Chinedu Ogah, a lawmaker representing lkwo/Ezza South federal constituency of Ebonyi State believes President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has no opposition in the next presidential elections in 2027.

Ogah, who is also the Chairman of the House Committee on Reformatory Institutions dismissed the strength of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and Labour Party (LP) even as rumors emerged of a possible collaboration between former Governor of Kaduna State, Nasir El-Rufai and Peter Gregory Obi, the 2023 presidential candidate of the LP.

Speaking to journalists in Abakaliki on Sunday, March 31, the APC lawmaker boasted the track record and performance of the President is no match for his competitors. He said the President knows the challenges the country faces and has begun to fix them.

“President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is doing perfectly well; he is doing very well. You may hate Tinubu but he is doing well in his administration, tackling the challenges in the country.

“The President has made us legislators sit up and every legislator is busy in his/her constituency attending to the people’s needs because 2023 has shown that if you are not on ground, the people will vote you out.

“The rural people that were regarded as illiterates are now more learned than us and they now know how to vote and who to vote for in an election. If you are not representing well, the people will vote you out.

“So, the President is doing very well and that was why most of us were singing his praises to come into power because he knows the problems of the country and how to solve them, and he is solving them.

“Who is contesting against the President in 2027? Who will run against him? I have even endorsed the President for 2027 and I have not seen anybody that will match him. I have not seen anybody that will match Tinubu in 2027; forget the noise on social media some people are making. Is it El-Rufai who could not win Kaduna, his state, that will match him? He is not an issue if he is running,” he said.
