Dalung Predicts Tinubu’s Loss in 2027 Election Against Any Opponent

Solomon Dalung, a leader in the African Democratic Congress, has stated that he believes President Bola Tinubu will lose the 2027 election, even if his opponent is just a random person from the street. Dalung made these comments during an interview on Channels Television’s Politics Today.

Dalung suggested that Tinubu is afraid to face voters, despite being in office for four years. He challenged Tinubu and the All Progressives Congress (APC) to let the election be decided by the people. He remarked, “If you drag anybody on the street and put him on a ballot at a contest with Tinubu, he will defeat him.”

Dalung also accused the APC of hindering opposition parties from campaigning effectively. He claimed that venues for rallies have been closed, hotels taken over, and party offices sealed off, making it difficult for the opposition to operate. He compared this situation to the 2014 election, stating that if the APC had faced similar restrictions, they would have struggled to find places to campaign.

He emphasized that moving the opposition onto the streets would not weaken their campaign. Dalung believes that the people attending these gatherings are genuine supporters, not hired crowds. He stated, “Now, for Tinubu and his APC to move the opposition on pit, they have lost the election.”
