National Chairman of the Peoples Redemption Party, PRP, Dr Hakeem Baba-Ahmed, has said that President Bola Tinubu will lose the 2027 general elections before 4 pm if the poll were credible, free and fair. He recently had his say while speaking on Politics Today, a Channels Television programme, and Nigerians have been reacting.
Stressing that Adeleke’s victory proves that the APC can be defeated at the polls, Baba-Ahmed described the ruling party as a monster eating itself up.
He added that despite controlling the National Assembly and having 31 state governors, Tinubu remains restless because Nigeria has become worse under his leadership.
His words, “I saw the now sworn-in Governor Ademola Adeleke of Osun State speak in a very confident, very comfortable manner. APC was trounced in Osun. We didn’t even see a coalition or collaboration or a gang-up against the APC. Parties all competed against one another. Yet, APC was defeated. We have even heard stories that there was a deal between President Tinubu and Governor Ademola Adeleke. But we don’t believe that. We believe that the ruling party, Accord Party, defeated APC comprehensively. There’s no reason why this cannot repeat itself at a national level.
APC is not a party. It is a monster eating itself up and eating everybody up. You have a party that has a president who is quite possibly the most powerful president, who has either given himself or been given by the people around him the most awesome powers to do anything he wants. You have a president who believes he must have all the power around him. He appears to have garnered the support of 31 governors and quite possibly about 75 per cent of the National Assembly, yet he’s still uncomfortable. It’s politically monstrous.
If it’s a credible, free and fair election, I assure you, Tinubu will lose. I won’t say before 12 noon. Maybe before 4 pm. Nobody should praise INEC until it can actually conduct an election in which the President is a contestant. I hope the election will be credible, free and fair. If it’s not, I foresee a very serious threat to Nigeria’s democracy.”
