Solomon Dalung, a former minister of sports and youth development, claims that Nigerians and President Bola Tinubu’s administration will fight each other in the general elections of 2027.
Dalung stated on News Central that even if President Tinubu names his son Seyi as the chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), he will not be re-elected in the upcoming elections.
He criticised the current administration, accusing it of worsening the living conditions of Nigerians.
According to the former minister, the only option to save the nation is for opposition party leaders to unite behind the recently established African Democratic Congress (ADC) coalition in order to challenge the incumbent All Progressives Congress (APC) in the upcoming election cycle.
Dalung said: “Like I promised President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, even if the 36 state governors of Nigeria defect to the APC and he appoints Seyi Tinubu as the chairman of INEC and maybe appoints his wife as the Chief Justice of Nigeria, they will be defeated in 2027.
“Because it is us against them. Nigerians should buckle for 2027, because the battle line has been drawn by the government of President Tinubu, which has declared war against the Nigerian people.
“The government has weaponized poverty, hunger and hardship.
“The only option we have now is to align with the coalition movement to reposition ourselves and confront the government in 2027.”
