A former Minister of Sports, Solomon Dalung, has expressed confidence that President Bola Tinubu will not secure re-election in the 2027 general elections. Speaking on News Central, Dalung emphasized that the outcome would remain unchanged, even if Tinubu's son, Seyi, were appointed as the chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
*Dalung's Assertions*
Dalung stated that the upcoming elections would be a showdown between the Nigerian people and Tinubu's government. He noted that the government's actions, including widespread poverty, hunger, and hardship, have weaponized these issues against the populace. According to Dalung, the only viable option for Nigerians is to align with the coalition movement to challenge the government in 2027.
*Quote from Dalung*
"Like I promised President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, even if the 36 state governors of Nigeria defect to the APC and he appoints Seyi Tinubu as the chairman of INEC and maybe appoints his wife as the Chief Justice of Nigeria, they will be defeated in 2027. Because it is we against them. Nigerians should buckle for 2027, because the battle line has been drawn by the government of President Tinubu, which has declared war against the Nigerian people. The government has weaponized poverty, hunger and hardship. The only option we have now is to align with the coalition movement to reposition ourselves and confront the government in 2027."
*Implications*
Dalung's comments suggest a growing discontent among Nigerians with the current government's policies and actions. The former minister's prediction of a potential defeat for Tinubu in 2027 reflects the sentiment that the government needs to address the pressing issues affecting the country.
