Femi Fani‑Kayode, the former Aviation Minister, warned anyone who seeks to remove President Bola Tinubu from office in 2027. In a Facebook post he cited biblical passages, saying that those who gather against Tinubu will be scattered and their ambitions thwarted, and that nothing can stop God’s plan for the country. He expressed confidence that Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda will reach its full potential by 2031, emphasizing the futility of attempts to undermine the president’s agenda.
The warning comes amid reports that several high‑profile figures—former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, Nasir El‑Rufai, Peter Obi and Rotimi Amaechi—have signaled intentions to challenge Tinubu in the 2027 election. Fani‑Kayode’s statement appears to be a direct response to these developments, aimed at bolstering support for Tinubu’s vision and deterring potential challengers.
Nigeria’s political landscape is at a critical juncture, with various factions and interest groups vying for influence. Tinubu’s administration has outlined an ambitious reform and growth agenda, and Fani‑Kayode’s message seeks to reinforce its durability. The outcome of the 2027 elections and the fate of Tinubu’s administration will depend on a complex interplay of political alliances, public opinion and economic performance. For now, Fani‑Kayode’s warning underscores the intense political maneuvering underway in the country.
