President-Bola-Ahmed-Tinubu-1-1536x1025 (1) (1).webp
The Presidency has strongly dismissed predictions from Dr. Yusuf Datti Baba-Ahmed, who claimed President Tinubu would lose the 2027 election. Responding through Sunday Dare, the President’s Special Adviser on Public Communications, the government described Baba-Ahmed’s statements as baseless and a product of political delusion. The Presidency praised Tinubu's performance so far, highlighting macroeconomic stability and international recognition for his reforms, asserting that he will not only contest the 2027 election but will win "comfortably."

Highlights:​

  • The Presidency dismissed Baba-Ahmed's claim that Tinubu will lose the 2027 election.
  • Tinubu’s government was praised for macroeconomic stability and praised by the IMF for its reforms.
  • Critics were accused of focusing on political theories and not engaging with the progress being made.
  • The statement called for more constructive discussions leading up to the 2027 elections.
Fayose’s dismissal of Baba-Ahmed’s predictions underscores the President’s confidence in his leadership. Despite criticism regarding corruption and insecurity, the Presidency maintains that Tinubu’s policies are already yielding results, with macroeconomic stability and international praise as key achievements. As the 2027 election approaches, this defence sets the stage for a combative election cycle, with a call for more factual debate.

With 2027 in the distance, the question remains: will Tinubu’s policies be enough to silence critics, or will the opposition rally around alternative visions for Nigeria’s future?
