Political Heavyweights Plotting to Stop Tinubu in 2027

As Nigeria approaches another pivotal election cycle, political tremors are already being felt across the country. Behind the scenes, intense maneuvers and strategic calculations are unfolding, with political heavyweights quietly but aggressively plotting to stop President Bola Ahmed Tinubu from securing a second term in the 2027 general elections. While Tinubu's hold on the All Progressives Congress (APC) remains firm for now, insiders suggest that the terrain is shifting, and the battle for Nigeria's highest office is already underway—long before official campaigns begin.

The story of President Tinubu's rise to power in 2023 was historic. A political strategist and power broker from Lagos, he long had a reputation for building alliances and engineering electoral victories from behind the curtain. His ascension to the presidency was seen by many as the culmination of decades of influence and ambition. However, as with all holders of power, his incumbency has attracted scrutiny, opposition, and rivals—many of whom are now exploring ways to prevent his return to Aso Rock in 2027.
