Home » Why opposition can’t defeat Tinubu in 2027 – Reno Omokri
Former presidential aide and ambassador -designate, Reno Omokri, has said that the opposition stands little chance of defeating President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in 2027.
Speaking during an interview on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Wednesday, Omokri pointed to what he described as improved economic indicators and the All Progressives Congress (APC) growing dominance across the states as key factors working in Tinubu’s favour.
According to him, the APC’s control of about 30 governors has significantly weakened the opposition compared to the 2023 election cycle, when the ruling party had around 20 states under its control.
He said, “If the opposition could not defeat Tinubu with about 20 governors in 2023, how are they going to be able to defeat him right now with 30 governors?
“If the opposition could not defeat the president when he had not fulfilled his campaign promises, how can they defeat him when he has fulfilled his campaign promises?”
He also cited international recognition of Tinubu’s economic policies, referencing comments credited to the International Monetary Fund (IMF).
“Just last week, we saw that the IMF were on air, saying that right now they go about from country to country telling them that if you want reforms that work, learn from Nigeria,” he said.
Omokri further argued that Nigeria’s economy has recorded notable improvements since Tinubu assumed office in May 2023, particularly in gross domestic product and manufacturing capacity.
“By the time this president took office, our GDP was so low, we had gone from the first in Africa to about the fourth.
“Right now, we have the second-largest manufacturing capacity in Africa. We have added $67 billion to our GDP in two years,” he said.
He maintained that ordinary Nigerians are experiencing the benefits of the administration’s policies, especially in the area of fuel availability and pricing.
“Since Bola Tinubu became president, they (Nigerians) have never had to queue at the petrol station to get fuel. Fuel is readily available. Fuel is inexpensive.
“This is the first government that we’ve seen since the Yar’Adua government, where fuel has gone down in price multiple times. Not once, multiple times. So, in their pockets they are feeling it.
“Do not allow yourself to be moved by these people who go to the National Assembly to protest. Those are elites. They are trying to snatch power.
“The average Nigerian has seen his purchasing power increase. If you take 50 dollars right now in Nigeria, convert it to naira, what you buy from the markets you cannot buy in any West African country. Nigeria has significantly more purchasing power.”
