Shun 2027 presidential ambition – Ex-lawmaker urges Makinde
A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Lagos State and former lawmaker, Jude Idimogu, has advised Gov. Seyi Makinde of Oyo State not to run against President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 presidential election.
Idimogu, a Deputy Leader, Ndigbo in Lagos State APC, gave this advice in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Sunday in Lagos.
According to him, such an adventure will end up in futility, a waste of time and resources.
“The truth is that Gov. Seyi Makinde cannot wrestle power from President Bola Tinubu. Tinubu will win again and nothing will stop him by His Grace.
“We must reiterate that Asiwaju Bola Tinubu will win the 2027 presidential election in Nigeria again in landslide,” Idimogu said.
According to him, Tinubu as of today in Nigeria is a game changer, a strategic planner and a master.
The former lawmaker, however noted that Makinde remained a friend to the President, doubting if he would listen to those calling on him to run against Tinubu.
He also noted that Makinde had the right under the law to aspire for any elective position in the country.
On the coalition of opposition leaders against Tinubu in 2027, Idimogu reiterated that no alliance would be able to unseat Tinubu.
