Tinubu’s 2027 Re-election Unthreatened by Atiku’s Coalition, Says Ex-Lagos Lawmaker

Sir Jude Idimogu, a former Lagos State House of Assembly member and Deputy Leader of Ndigbo in Lagos APC, has dismissed the potential of a coalition led by former PDP presidential candidate Alhaji Atiku Abubakar to derail President Bola Tinubu’s re-election bid in 2027. 

Speaking to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Lagos on Friday, Idimogu expressed skepticism about the coalition’s adoption of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) as a platform to challenge Tinubu, stating it is unlikely to succeed.

The ex-lawmaker, however, said  he  had nothing against the adoption of  ADC by Atiku and others as “everyone has the freedom to join any political association to find space and relevance,”

Idimogu said: “APC is a very big party and it will be very hard for any party or even coalition to defeat it in 2027. The party has a lot of notable men and women.

“We understand that politics is about interest and that there is no permanent friend or permanent enemy, but let them gather, by the grace of God, they cannot unseat Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu. That is the truth.

“To say you want to remove Tinubu is a difficult thing,When you look at his journey to where he is today ,you will know that unseating him is something that will be very difficult.

“If he could not be stopped when he was aspiring to lead, is it now that  he is in  power that they want to stop his re-election?

“Those who know the enormous power the  President has should know that that what the  coalition people are doing is a waste of time. Tinubu is a strategist, who knows the success path in politics.

“So, I do not see anything stopping the President,I believe Tinubu will finish this term and serve his second term by God’s  Grace.”

He said , at the best, the coalition would only produce some lawmakers, but not the president.

“No shaking for Tinubu in 2027. Tinubu will return as President, I pray for him and wish him well. God will do it for him,” Idimogu said.
