2027: Challenging Tinubu will be political suicide, Shettima warns opposition

Ahead of the next general elections, Vice President Kashim Shettima has cautioned opposition elements against attempting to challenge President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in the 2027 presidential election, warning that such a move could amount to political suicide.

Shettima gave the warning on Friday during the 15th National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), held at the State House Conference Centre, Abuja.

The former Borno State governor said anyone nursing the ambition to contest against President Tinubu in 2027 was embarking on what he described as a “suicidal mission.”

“Only a fool hell-bent on a suicidal path or an outright impostor can dare to challenge President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in the 2027 election. However, we are in a democracy, and people are free to contest elections,” he said.

Although not originally scheduled to speak at the meeting, Shettima was invited to the podium at the instance of the President to make brief remarks.

He further warned that elections are not won through social media hype, stressing that victory is achieved through strategic alliances, credibility and conviction.

He noted that experience had shown that elections are not won relying on online popularity, emphasizing that visibility on platforms like Facebook and X (formerly Twitter) is not a guarantee for electoral victories.

“Elections are not won by noise or nostalgia. Elections are not conducted on Facebook or Twitter. They are won by coalitions, credibility, and conviction,” he said.

Shettima added that President Tinubu’s experience and leadership record place him in a strong position ahead of the next general election.

“With the experience of our president as our shield and the lessons of the past as our guide, I believe that 2027 is not a gamble; it is a responsibility. And by the grace of God, we shall have a renewable blessing,” he predicted.
