Joe Igbokwe, a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has issued a strong warning to opposition political figures, urging them to abandon any ambitions of unseating President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in the 2027 general elections.
In a Facebook post that has since generated widespread reactions across social media, Igbokwe dismissed the prospects of prominent opposition figures such as former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, Labour Party’s Peter Obi, former Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai, and others. According to him, the 2027 presidential contest is already settled in favour of Tinubu.
“2027? FORGET IT. PBAT IS THE OWNER OF THE GAME. DO NOT PLAY WITH THE MASTER,” Igbokwe wrote, using Tinubu’s popular initials, PBAT, to emphasize his point.
The outspoken APC stalwart argued that President Tinubu’s deep-rooted influence in Nigeria’s political landscape, coupled with his strategic experience and control of political structures, places him far ahead of any potential challengers. He suggested that opposition leaders are underestimating Tinubu’s political strength and organizational capacity by already positioning themselves for the next election cycle.
Igbokwe’s post comes amid growing political realignments and early maneuverings ahead of 2027, with opposition parties exploring possible coalitions to challenge the ruling APC. However, the APC chieftain maintained that such efforts would amount to an exercise in futility, insisting that Tinubu remains firmly in charge of the political terrain. See More
