2027: Nigerians Are Suffering, Only Endorsement By Citizens Can Save Tinubu – Analysts
Political analysts have disclosed that only Nigerians can save President Bola Tinubu in 2027.
They were reacting to the recent endorsement of the President by former federal lawmakers in Abeokuta.
According to the political analysts, political endorsements don’t necessarily translate to victory in elections, especially when the incumbent is not performing well.
A political analyst, Aminu Yakudima, told Daily Trust in a telephone interview last night that the endorsement is not an automatic ticket for Tinubu’s re-election in 2027.
Yakudima said the most important thing is for the president to deliver on his 2023 campaign promises to Nigerians, stressing that is the only way he can secure citizens’ votes for a second term.
The analyst said, “There was an endorsement of President Goodluck Jonathan for re-election. So many support groups came up and endorsed him, many political parties and splinter groups endorsed him to continue and it didn’t happen.
“So this is not an automatic ticket that he (Tinubu) would be re-elected in 2027. Endorsements do not necessarily give an incumbent president victory in an election.
“What is important is for the president to be more focused and drive the ‘renewed hope’ agenda in a manner that would take Nigerians out of the current predicament.
“Citizens are really facing hardship. His policies are not yielding positive results. There is a need for more efforts and more legislation so that the government will be seen to be performing better.”
Speaking further, Yakudima said, “If the president is doing well, he doesn’t need endorsement from politicians, Nigerians will ask him to continue without hiccups.
“But when you begin to have the emergence of sycophants, singing praises, and saying that they endorsed the president, that’s not how it works.
“The most important thing is for the government to be more active, more productive, more transformative and to be ready to deliver on the ‘renewed hope’ agenda.”
Another political analyst, Jackson Lekan Ojo, also stated that the endorsement may not translate to victory in 2027.
Ojo said the president must make life better for Nigerians to secure a seamless victory in 2027.
“What is the political relevance of the former lawmakers who endorsed him? What is their electoral value? What is Dogara’s electoral value in Bauchi State today and a host of others?
“Nigerians are tired of these people. So it doesn’t matter; endorsement doesn’t translate to victory. These people are nervous because they know that the government has failed to deliver on its campaign promises.
“The product they are marketing has added no value to Nigerians. The marketers, who are they? What have they contributed to the development of this country?” he queried.
Ojo further said, “They are praise singers. Nigerians are suffering and they hold the key to Tinubu’s return in 2027. The most important thing is that Mr President should deliver on his promises to Nigerians, then they will vote for him again in 2027. But the endorsement in Abeokuta, to me, was just a way to share money again.”
