Igbokwe Predicts Tinubu's 2027 Re-election Victory

Joe Igbokwe, a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and former publicity secretary in Lagos State, declared at a political gathering in Lagos that President Bola Tinubu will secure re-election in 2027 and complete eight years in office. Igbokwe asserted that opposition parties do not possess the political strength to defeat Tinubu, emphasizing that he had fought hard to win the 2023 presidential election.

He questioned the opposition's belief that they could remove him now that he is in power. Igbokwe credited Tinubu with building a strong political network and claimed that he played a significant role in the election of former President Muhammadu Buhari, stating that Tinubu was instrumental in Buhari's two-term presidency.

He called on supporters in southern Nigeria, especially the South-East, to back Tinubu, arguing that their votes could enhance the region's political influence in future negotiations.
