2027: Atiku, Obi Not Presenting Anything Solid to Unseat Tinubu — Ndume
The senator representing Borno South, Ali Ndume, has said key figures in the African Democratic Congress (ADC), including Atiku Abubakar, Peter Obi and Rotimi Amaechi, have not presented any fresh strategy capable of defeating President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 general election.
Ndume expressed confidence that the All Progressives Congress would remain in power after the next presidential poll.
He made the remarks on Thursday during an appearance on Channels Television’s Politics Today.
According to him, the opposition has so far failed to offer anything different that would convince Nigerians it can unseat the ruling party.
“I am not worried because no one is coming up with anything new.
“Everybody is talking about it; it’s either Bola Ahmed Tinubu or Atiku or Amaechi or Peter Obi. I don’t see anything that they have presented.”
Ndume also said the opposition, especially elements within the ADC, appears divided despite efforts to challenge Tinubu’s hold on power.
“The man who is now driving is Tinubu, but those trying to take control, and the ADC itself, are always present here and there every day.
“At first, I had a lot of confidence, but when you see people focusing on gaining power for themselves, it’s not a big deal,” he said.
The lawmaker added that although the opposition boasts some strong political figures, it has continued to struggle with unity and coordination.
“So far, even though they have strong personalities, they haven’t been able to get their house in order. You can’t look down on any opponent, no matter how insignificant they seem.
“Remember, that’s how PDP thought about APC at first, that APC wasn’t serious. Buhari attempted several times but didn’t succeed. So, I’m not writing Obi or Amaechi off,” he said.
