2027: Tinubu deserves second term, says Soludo

As Nigeria's political class begins positioning for the 2027 general election, endorsements and counter-claims from prominent figures are emerging as early markers of where party and regional alliances may fall. Anambra State Governor Chukwuma Soludo, who himself has navigated a complex relationship with national politics as a technocrat-turned-governor, is among the first high-profile voices to publicly back President Bola Tinubu for re-election, a signal that could matter for how the ruling All Progressives Congress courts the South-East ahead of the polls.

The competing reaction from commentator Dele Momodu highlights the sharp divide already forming around Tinubu's prospects, with critics pointing to economic hardship from subsidy removal and currency reforms as grounds for opposition, while government allies tout stability and policy continuity. Neither side has detailed a concrete electoral strategy or coalition structure this early, and it remains unclear how either projection will translate into actual party alignments as 2027 approaches.
