2027: Opposition plan to unseat Tinubu is national, not northern agenda – Tambuwal
Former Sokoto governor and lawmaker, Aminu Tambuwal, says efforts to defeat President Bola Tinubu in 2027 are based on “national consensus” rather than a northern agenda.
Speaking on Channels TV, Tambuwal dismissed claims that the African Democratic Congress (ADC)-led coalition is pro-north, noting that members like Peter Obi and Rauf Aregbesola reflect its nationwide appeal. He said the plan is democratic, lawful, and aimed at ensuring a change of government on May 29, 2027.
Tambuwal accused the Tinubu administration of failing to meet Nigerians’ expectations, stressing that the president is not unbeatable. “Every claim that Tinubu cannot be defeated is rubbish,” he said.
The former House of Representatives speaker maintained that a united opposition—comprising Atiku Abubakar, Obi, Rabiu Kwankwaso, and even Goodluck Jonathan—would be strong enough to remove Tinubu.
“When this happens, the dynamics will be different, and people’s voting patterns will change,” he added. Tambuwal, however, declined to disclose his preferred presidential candidate, saying he would do so when aspirants declare.
