The Digest:

In a stunning political prediction, former Kaduna Governor Nasir El-Rufai has claimed that President Bola Tinubu will not win the 2027 presidential election. Based on what he calls The Political Calculus, El-Rufai stated that Tinubu will, at best, finish third and will not make it to a potential runoff, asserting that his position is even worse than that of ex-President Goodluck Jonathan in 2015.

Key Points:

  • Former Governor Nasir El-Rufai has predicted that President Tinubu will lose in 2027.
  • He said Tinubu will, at best, finish third in the presidential election.
  • El-Rufai's prediction is based on his personal "maths and analysis."
  • He compared Tinubu's situation to that of ex-President Goodluck Jonathan in 2015.
  • The former governor admitted he could not even deliver Kaduna state for Tinubu in 2023.
  • El-Rufai said a runoff is likely, but Tinubu will not be on the ballot for it.
  • He warned against "self-delusion" about Tinubu's chances of winning.
El-Rufai's bold claims, coming from a former political ally and insider, represent a major challenge to the Tinubu administration. His comparison to Jonathan's 2015 defeat signals a potential realignment of political forces ahead of the 2027 elections.
