President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has lashed out at those behind a proposed political coalition aimed at stopping his re-election bid in 2027.

Tinubu described them as political “internally displaced persons.”

The President stated this on Wednesday while commissioning legacy projects in Lafia, the Nasarawa State capital.

The projects were executed by Governor Abdullahi Sule, whom the president praised for prioritising the welfare and prosperity of his people.



Addressing the reported coalition of opposition forces, which includes former Vice President Atiku Abubakar and ex-Kaduna State Governor Nasiru El-Rufai, Tinubu dismissed the alliance as an early and misguided political move.

“Those who have triggered the early politics in the perdition of the coalition suddenly. Don’t pay them any attention; they are the political IDPs. Don’t give them a home; the hope is here,” the President said.

He made it clear that he would not be silent while opposition figures plotted to unseat him


He stated, “I’m not geared for what they tried to pull on me. Early political campaign, but who is the politician who will keep quiet when the gangsters are forming a coalition to unseat themselves?”

Despite ongoing economic challenges, Tinubu maintained that his administration has made significant progress.

“We’ve cut the waste. I won’t say much on the economic dynamism that we’re facing, but the hope is here. From this moment on, you’ll have no regret,” he said.

Commending the governor’s performance, Tinubu said, “Sule is doing well because Bola Tinubu is doing well, too.”

He also applauded Sule’s prudent use of the state’s resources and pledged the federal government’s continued support for Nasarawa.

“I could see hard work coming from A. A Sule, who is determined to use the resources available to him for the benefit, stability, and prosperity of Nasarawa State,” Tinubu stated.

He also reaffirmed his support for Sule and commended the First Lady of Nasarawa State for her contributions.

Dey play Mr. President you gonna learn the hard way come 2027 if you did not change some of your ash policies affecting the masses

Using IDPs as a jibe in a region beseiged by several displaced persons borne out of insecurity was in bad taste. He's sounding less and less confident and seems scared of the coalition. Tinubu has barely governed since assuming power, politicking started from day one. That "the guy is gone" statement really got him rattled. His only pathway is to continue to deny oppositions a platform to contest.

He hardly responds to them, but the few times he does, he's afraid. But if it was the opposition that made this claim about APC or Tinubu, you'd use that to support your claims that he's lost popularity


I don't take y'all seriously. You have double stance on all issues

Coming from a man presiding over a government that’s turned half the country into actual IDPs, that’s rich. If calling for good governance makes them ‘political IDPs,’ then Nigerians will proudly pitch their tents with them because under your watch, even staying home feels like displacement.

Tinubu is heading to that camp in less than two years. So he can continue to make noise
