Olatunbosun Oyintiloye, a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Osun, says no amount of political gang-up can stop President Bola Tinubu’s re-election in 2027.

“Take it or leave it; no amount of political gang-up can stop the re-election of President Tinubu in 2027,” Mr Oyintiloye, a former lawmaker, stated in a chat with journalists on Sunday in Osogbo.

The APC chieftain said that the recent defection of some party members to other political parties was not a threat to the political stability of the president and the ruling party.

Mr Oyintiloye, while noting that defection was a normal phenomenon in politics, said it would be “a grave mistake” for anyone to think that the defection of the “so-called APC members” would affect the president in 2027.

“Those who are gathering against him ahead of 2027 should try and study the kind of person the president is,” said Mr Oyintiloye. “He has the winning strategy and is raising men and women of goodwill across Nigeria.”

Mr Oyintiloye also said the long history of good relationships the president had established across all the geopolitical zones would continue to work in his favour.

He said the president’s efforts to retool and advance the course of Nigeria to achieve greatness would continue beyond 2027.

 Mr Oyintiloye also noted that the president was doing everything humanly possible to put the country on the path of greatness, adding that Tinubu’s efforts have started yielding positive results.

“The president will succeed, and his political enemies will realise the mistakes they are making by not supporting him.

“Those who are whipping up sentiments against the president should check his track records, achievements and popularity across Nigeria.

“Tinubu’s political strength, strong connection, influence and resilience, which made him triumph over all obstacles to win in 2023, will see him through in 2027,” he stated.

Mr Oyintiloye, however, advised the president to strengthen public engagement and sensitisation on the achievements of his administration in the last few months.

He said this would enable Nigerians to understand and properly evaluate the programmes and policies of the present administration.
