- Tinubu Unstoppable in 2027, Lagos APC Replies Momodu
- Slams Momodu’s Prediction on Atiku, Obi, Amaechi Alliance
- Says Opposition Not Strong Enough to Challenge Tinubu
The Lagos State chapter of the All Progressives Congress has pushed back strongly against comments made by media personality and politician Dele Momodu, who suggested that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu could lose the 2027 election if faced with a united opposition.
Eko Hot Blog reports that Momodu had speculated that a joint ticket involving Atiku Abubakar alongside either Peter Obi or Rotimi Amaechi could unseat Tinubu. But the APC in Lagos dismissed the claim as unrealistic and lacking any real political backing.

Reacting to the statement, the party’s spokesperson, Seye Oladejo, described the prediction as “wild” and baseless, insisting it does not reflect the political reality in the country.
According to him, current political trends and alignments point in the opposite direction, suggesting that Tinubu remains firmly positioned for victory in 2027.
Oladejo argued that many of the figures being mentioned as potential challengers are dealing with internal crises and lack of unity within their own political camps, making any serious electoral threat unlikely.
He added that the Tinubu administration is focused on delivering reforms aimed at stabilising the economy, improving security, and laying the groundwork for long-term growth through its Renewed Hope Agenda.
The APC spokesperson also criticised the opposition, describing it as disorganised and lacking clear direction, while urging political actors to move away from speculation and instead contribute meaningfully to national development.
He maintained that Nigerians are capable of recognising effective leadership and would continue to support the current administration as it builds on ongoing reforms.
In his view, any suggestion that Tinubu could be easily defeated in the next election is not only exaggerated but disconnected from the realities on ground.
