JUST IN; President Tinubu won’t seek reelection in 2027

Former Labour Party Vice Presidential candidate, Yusuf Datti Baba-Ahmed, has said President Bola Tinubu would not contest for re-election in 2027 if he is truly a strategic politician.

Speaking on Arise Television’s political programme Prime Time on Friday, Baba-Ahmed declared that Tinubu’s political time is over, insisting that the signs are clear for both the president and the All Progressives Congress (APC) that they are heading for defeat in the next election.

“If Tinubu is truly the smart politician people say he is, I expect him to throw in the towel,” he said.

Baba-Ahmed also accused Tinubu of orchestrating presidential ambitions for others since 2007, which he claimed eventually led to what he described as an “electoral heist” in the 2023 election.

He said, “He skipped 2007 and jokingly made Atiku (presidential) candidate, made Ribadu and somebody 2011, made Buhari in 2015, Buhari won, and then skipped 2019 and they stole 2023.

“If he is that smart, everything is there for him that he’s going to lose 2027.”
