A prominent member of Nigeria’s House of Representatives, Abdulmumin Jibrin, has declared with confidence that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu stands a strong chance of securing victory in the upcoming 2027 presidential election. Jibrin voiced his assurance on Wednesday during an interview on Politics Today, a flagship political programme aired on Channels Television, where he expressed that nothing significant appears capable of obstructing Tinubu’s re-election bid. According to him: “I am a Tinubu loyalist and I genuinely believe there is nothing that will stop him from emerging victorious in the 2027 election. I admire him deeply, and importantly, he also appreciates me. In any working environment, it matters greatly to have a leader that likes you while you equally like him, regardless of political party affiliations.” When pressed to choose between political heavyweights in the presidential race, the Kano-born lawmaker representing the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) emphasized that his preference would be for both President Tinubu and former Kano State Governor Rabiu Kwankwaso to collaborate in the interest of national development. Jibrin’s remarks highlight the ongoing realignments in Nigeria’s political landscape ahead of 2027, with alliances and partnerships likely to play a pivotal role in shaping the outcome of the elections.
