“If he is that smart, everything is there for him that he’s going to lose 2027,” Datti says on Arise TV.
Yusuf Datti Baba-Ahmed, Labour Party’s 2023 Vice Presidential candidate, has advised President Bola Tinubu against seeking re-election in 2027, predicting defeat.
Speaking on Arise Television’s Prime Time on Friday, he said, “I expect Tinubu to throw in the towel if he is that smart politician that he turns out to be.”
Datti accused Tinubu of engineering previous presidential bids before allegedly “stealing” the 2023 election. “They stole 2023. If he is that smart, everything is there for him that he’s going to lose 2027,” he added.
He dismissed the APC’s campaign promises: “Buhari did not develop Nigeria… neither will Tinubu.”
Predicting a united opposition, he said, “I see Nigerians somehow uniting… bad leadership will begin to have no hiding place.”
