BREAKING: 2027 Presidency: What Tinubu Is Doing To Stop Atiku-Led Coalition, Political Analyst Explains
FCT, Abuja – Kelly Agaba, the coordinator of the Citizens Coalition, said President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is using the divide-and-rule strategy to win the 2027 elections.
Agaba said Nigerians are suffering and are looking for solutions, not divisive rhetoric.
The political analyst said he is not convinced that Tinubu’s alleged divide-and-rule strategy will work for him in 2027.
He stated this during an exclusive chat with Legit.ng while reacting to Governor Sheriff Oborevwori’s defection and reports that some PDP governors from the southern regions will soon defect to the ruling APC.
“Honestly, I’m not convinced it will work. The narrative they’re trying to build won’t resonate with Nigerians who are more concerned about their economic struggles. The current government’s policies have crippled the personal economies of millions, and people are looking for solutions, not divisive rhetoric.”
According to Agaba, the 2027 election will be about Tinubu’s policies and the people.
He argued that the 2027 general elections will not be about region or ethnicity.
“The 2027 election will be about President Tinubu, the APC, and their policies versus the people. It’s not about region or ethnicity; it’s about governance and accountability. Nigerians have seen through the antics of politicians who prioritize personal interests over public welfare.
“We shouldn’t fall into the trap of regional politics. The mantra of “North for North” or “South for South” won’t yield positive results. What we need is a government that prioritizes the needs of all Nigerians, regardless of their region or ethnicity.
“The drama of betrayal will unfold in 2027, but it won’t be about regions; it will be about politicians who failed to deliver on their promises. Nigerians will hold them accountable.”
Yobe governor denies link to Atiku’s coalition
Earlier, Legit.ng reported that Governor Mai Mala Buni of Yobe state rubbished claims linking him to a defection plot led by former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar.
Governor Buni declared that he had no intention of abandoning the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Legit.ng reports that this comes after a viral text message alleged that Buni and four other APC governors had sealed a secret deal to dump the ruling party and align with the opposition PDP ahead of the 2027 general elections.
