As the race for 2027 gears up, alignments and realignments have continued to dominate our political space with leaders of opposition trying to unite and forge a common front to face APC in 2027.

Now, with Peter Obi’s showing in the last election coupled with the fact it’s the turn of the south, by Nigerian political convention, the pendulum seems to be swinging towards Peter Obi to be the candidate of the united opposition. Add the fact that Obasanjo seems to be sold out to the Obi project and Obasanjo is a big factor in the ongoing discussions for opposition leaders.

But the recent interview of the outgoing President of the African Development Bank (AfDB), Akinwunmi Adesina, talking about being available for any role in the future (with 2027 presidency clearly in sight) there seems to be a new bride who might be entering the race.

Ordinarily I would have taken Adesina’s interview as a no issue but knowing that he’s another guy President Obasanjo admires, I won’t be surprised if he becomes a surprise joker in the race.

But now I want to ask, who would you rather faces Tinubu as candidate of the united opposition, Peter Obi or Akinwunmi Adesina?
another agenda don start?

They have shift again to Akinwumi and Obi shit.

We have told you to stop wasting your time obi will never rule Nigeria till he die and for Akinwumi let him come back in 2038 and unfortunate for him by 2038 its SS we are supporting.

Una just like to dey play play. Tinubu is the president till 2031 take it or leave it.

Tinubu nor be Jonathan and we have told you cursed moterfuckers no Southen president w5ill suffer what Gej suffered again.

Bring your obi by 2027 I swear we go disgrace him so much that he will weep like small pikin dem flog.

Tinubu no be GEJ oo!

Even if Naira becomes N5000/$, petrol becomes N3000 and all Nigerians start feeding from gutters, it's next to impossible to unseat Tinubu.
Mission Impossible, an imagination that can never be achieved.

We should also consider Governor Adeleke (Jackson). I see him dancing at United Nations to cheer up the Israelis and Palestinians.

IT SUPPOSED TO BE ADESINA OR IWEALA?

Adesina is far far far better than Obi, Obi only ridding on sympathy Votes.( The same way the party faithful in APC compensated Tinubu, Tinubu won on his past good gesture to politicians and not performance in office) Osinbajo "would" better than him any day any time.

Go and watch interview and achievements of Adesina, most especially the one Rufai Oseni conducted recently, you will know the guy is great leader unlike rhetoric and voodoo economy that Obi is selling to gaulible.

In the east, I will choose, Umahi Solido, Ngozi before thinking of Obi
I hope the wages are commiserate.

To answer your question straight forward...

Peter Obi stands a better chance with the right alliances.

Adeshina is fresh and inexperienced in politics at that level. Obi already has a base he can build on.

But as for who is likely to be a better president I would pick Adeshina over Obi!
can you state 2 possible alliance that he can get, Na Atiku go give am alliance or Kwankwaso?

Adesina would make a great CBN Governor. Leave the presidency for Peter Obi.

Adesina doesn’t have what it takes to rally over 6 million Nigerians in a tightly contested election. Peter Obi does and what he needs is a core northern alliance
The question is hypothetical, that is, if they are made president in 2027 , who will be better president.


In reality none of them can win election,even in 2031.

Seriously? Abeg link to those loans.

Don't mind them. They are expecting Igbo majority to vote for ofe mmanu, when the traditional voting preference is very clear.

Igbo formed alliance with Sardauna/Tafawa Balewa (North) to claim power at independence,
Igbo partnered Shehu Shagari (North),
Igbo gave unknown Tofa (North) their votes over MKO Abiola,
Even Ojukwu partnered with Shehu Shagari (North) on his return instead of a more advisable siddon-look approach.

Those are the key historical landmarks, but let ofe mmanu do the same thing then it becomes a crime and ofe mmanus are slaves. For Igbo mind, him be very very smart person grin grin grin grin grin


tiswell:
Remove the ofe mmanu Adessina from there.

Kwankwaso will do better than Akinwunmi Adesina. Make him go rest, he should join forces with Obi💯

he only need power brokers to support him
Re: 2027: Peter Obi Or Akinwumi Adesina? by epainos:
Northern coalition is the only factor to consider here. If it is only between these two candidates, of course, it is Adesina. Northerners will rather have a Yoruba demon as their president rather than having another st.Obi. Obi should not deceive himself. He stands no chance to become the president of Nigeria except he becomes a V.P. first.

We are not joking with that idiot called obi, he offended us and we go show him shege promax by 2027. We are waiting....

DeLaRue:
I struggle to see which opposition pairing and permutation can defeat the President.

1. Mr Atiku doesn't appear willing to step aside, yet, most Southerners and middlebelters are not ready to vote another Northerner so soon after Mr Buhari.

2) If Mr Atiku and Mr Obi decides to join forces on the same ticket, which party will they use? PDP is not certain. If they form an entirely new party, and they don't win, Mr Obi will be the biggest loser, as he will then have been in 4 different parties. That's not a good look.

3) If Mr Obi and Atiku contest separately, we'll probably end up with a result similar to the one we had in 2023.

4) There is no proof yet that the far North will vote for any ticket with Mr Obi in it, whether as President or Vice President. Mr Obi got so few votes in that part of the country in 2023 that it is difficult to see how that will change in 2027.

) If you throw Mr Adesina in the mix, and he too contests under a different party, that fractionalisation of the opposition will only favour the incumbent.

Anyway, as someone famously said, a week is a long time in politics. With 2027 still 2 years away, a lot can still change. Who knows.
anybody but Tinubu, we don't want him agian

Despite, the fall of the Naira, Inflation, skyrocketing prices, closure of comöanies, high taxes, corruption, looting, he deserves commendation? grin grin grin

A empty Governor who hires his gilfriends & girlfriends of his goon squad as consultant ? grin grin grin grin

The clueless womaniser should replace Emiefele in the cell seeing what the economy has become under his "sophisticated" parapoism

Let you commend him appropriately, o qualms

ABUJA, Nov 27 (Reuters) - Nigeria's cabinet has approved a $1 billion concessionary loan from the African Development Bank (AfDB) to support financing the budget and improve foreign exchange supply, Finance Minister Olawale Edun said on Monday.
The AfDB loan will fetch an interest rate of 4.2% for 25 years with eight-year moratorium, Edun told reporters after a cabinet meeting in the capital city, Abuja.

The total repayment amount at the end of the loan tenure will be $2.7 billion from a $1 billion loan
