2027: Atiku, Peter Obi, Amaechi not presenting anything new to defeat Tinubu – Ndume

The Senator representing Borno South in the National Assembly, Ali Ndume, has said chieftains of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, like Atiku Abubakar, Peter Obi and Rotimi Amaechi have not presented any new strategy that can overcome President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 elections.

Ndume said this while showing confidence that the All Progressives Congress, APC, will stay in power after the 2027 election.

He spoke during his appearance on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Thursday.

According to Ndume: “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.”

He also mentioned that even though Tinubu is still in charge, the opposition groups, especially within the ADC, seem to be divided.

“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.

Ndume also noted that while the opposition has some prominent figures, it has faced challenges in maintaining 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 about Obi or Amaechi off,” he said.
