Gov Yusuf’s Defection: Anyone Thinking They Can Defeat Tinubu Delusional – Omokri
  • PublishedJanuary 27, 2026

 

Ambassador-designate, Reno Omokri, has said that it would be “delusional” for any political party to think they can defeat the incumbent President of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Bola Tinubu, in the upcoming 2027 elections.

This was as Omokri insisted that with 30 state governors behind Tinubu, it would be difficult to defeat him in 2027.

He was reacting to speculation about the reported move by Governor Abba Yusuf of Kano State from the New Nigeria Peoples Party, NNPP, to the All Progressives Congress, APC.

Posting on X, Omokri wrote: “As Kano Makes 30: Anyone Thinking They Can Defeat President Tinubu In 2027 Is Delusional!

“If the opposition could not defeat then-candidate Asiwaju Bola Tinubu in 2023 with just 20 All Progressives Congress Governors behind him, what makes them think they can do so with 30 Governors now behind him?

“Ponder on that for a moment. Some Nigerians who are still living in la-la land do not really understand the political implications of Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf of Kano taking down the flag of the New Nigeria Peoples Party.”
