A prominent Nigerian activist, Aisha Yesufu, has expressed confidence that defeating President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 presidential election will be easier than it was in the 2023 polls. This statement reflects the growing criticism of the current administration and suggests that public sentiment may shift further against the president as the next election approaches.
Yesufu, a vocal figure during the 2023 elections, has continued to comment on governance, accountability, and citizens’ engagement in Nigeria’s democratic process. In a recent post on social media, she stated, “God willing, defeating Tinubu in 2027 will be far easier than it was defeating him in 2023.” This statement comes as a chieftain of the African Democratic Congress, Dele Momodu, disclosed that the party can topple Tinubu in 2027.
Momodu believes that with the support of prominent figures such as former Vice President Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi, the African Democratic Congress can successfully challenge President Tinubu in the next election. The comments from Yesufu and Momodu highlight the growing opposition to the current administration and the potential for a competitive presidential election in 2027.
The 2023 presidential election in Nigeria was marked by controversy and criticism, with many citizens expressing dissatisfaction with the outcome. Since then, there have been ongoing debates about the country’s democratic process and the need for greater accountability and transparency. As the 2027 election approaches, it is likely that these issues will continue to be at the forefront of public discourse.
The statements from Yesufu and Momodu are significant, as they reflect the growing sentiment among some Nigerians that the current administration can be challenged and potentially defeated in the next election. As the political landscape in Nigeria continues to evolve, it will be important to monitor the developments and statements from key figures in the lead-up to the 2027 presidential election. The outcome of this election will have significant implications for the country’s future and the direction of its democratic process.
