Nigerians may regret it, if Tinubu loses in 2027 – Obidike
A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Hon. Obidike Chukwuebuka, has said Nigerians cannot afford to lose President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in the 2027 presidential election, arguing that continuity is necessary…
As Nigeria's political class begins early positioning ahead of the 2027 general elections, ruling party figures have started making the case for President Bola Tinubu's re-election, framing his first term's economic reforms — including the removal of the petrol subsidy and the floating of the naira — as measures that require continuity to yield their intended benefits. These reforms have been widely criticised by Nigerians for deepening the cost-of-living crisis, even as the administration maintains they are necessary for long-term economic stability.
Both outlets report the comments similarly, attributing them to an APC chieftain, Hon. Obidike Chukwuebuka, who argues that Tinubu's exit from power in 2027 would be a setback for the country. What remains unclear from the coverage is the specific context in which the remarks were made — whether at a party event, interview, or press briefing — as well as any response from opposition figures or details on what "reforms" he was referring to beyond general statements.
