Political Intelligence Group Urges Issue-Based Campaigns for 2027
The Political Intelligence Group (PIG), led by convener Lai Omotola, has called on Nigeria's political actors to conduct issue-based campaigns as the 2027 general elections approach. At a press conference in Lagos, Omotola emphasized the need to avoid personal attacks, stating that religion and ethnicity might overshadow critical issues like the economy in determining the election's outcome.
PIG presented its October electoral map, projecting that the All Progressives Congress (APC) would win 19 states, a decrease from 20 in September. This projection is based on significant political developments, including the denial of entry to former Anambra State governor and Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi in Benue State, controversies surrounding President Bola Tinubu's vacation, and Atiku Abubakar's renewed focus on fuel subsidy.
The group noted that the APC appears to be mobilizing more effectively than other parties, while the National Democratic Congress has struggled to form a Presidential Campaign Council.
