The Chairman, House Committee on Customs, Leke Abejide, has said the forthcoming 2027 elections will be a walk-over for president Bola Tinubu.

Abejide expressed this optimism on Friday during an interview on ‘Politics Today’, a programme on Channels Television monitored by DAILY POST.

He said Nigerians are happy enough with President Tinubu to give him another chance as President in 2027

"Poverty has reduced below more than 50%. That’s what so many people have seen that this government is actually working, and the reforms are beginning to bring results.

“Part of the results is what I just told you now that food inflation has passed and people are now happy, the workers, especially in the state and the federal now receive their salary.

" I don’t think there is any state in Nigeria now that the civil servants are being owed. ere is any and civil servant.

“So I believe with this and what to come in this new year, by the time the election comes, it will be a work over,” he said.

In their own words 2027 elections is a walkover for them. I am not disputing that.
However my main concern is why are they always agitated when a certain Peter Obi sneezes or coughs.
Is there something they know that we don’t know that puts them in a state of panic and confusion at the mention of Okwute’s name?

nwane the state of panic only exists in your head……no one is losing sleep over an inconsequential obi that came a distant third….we pray ADC gives him the ticket so he can test his popularity again and not hide under his Fulani master since he claimed to be more popular and claimed to have won the last election….only in Nigeria a man that came a distant third claim to win an election…..no be juju be that 🤣🤣

The Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy Chief Olawale Edun has said the last time Nigeria’s economy looked stable was about a decade ago.

He made this statement during his maiden press conference as Minister of Finance where he outlined President Bola Tinubu’s vision, agenda and strategy for the economy.

He said, “I think as we all know, we are not where we should be. The economy is barely growing above the rate of population growth.

“But it was not always so, and I think in trying to look at the way forward, if we now have a situation of slow growth, double-digit inflation, weak/depreciating exchange rate, as well as security concerns that are resulting in an economy that is not growing and not taking Nigerians out of poverty.

“If we think back to the last time when the economy was stable- when it was growing, when inflation was low, and the interest rate was affordable, that period was about a decade ago. Growth was about 6% in 2013 and 2014.”

Sadly, they aren't thinking about the democratic wishes of the Nigerian mass.

They are looking at the power of INEC, the judiciary and the ruling party via various governors and politicians who have decamped to APC.

“The worst illiterate is the political illiterate, he doesn’t hear, doesn’t speak, nor participates in the political events.

He doesn’t know the cost of life, the price of the bean, of the fish, of the flour, of the rent, of the shoes and of the medicine, all depends on political decisions. The political illiterate is so stupid that he is proud and swells his chest saying that he hates politics.

The slowpoke doesn’t know that, from his political ignorance is born the prostitute, the abandoned child, and the worst thieves of all, the bad politician, corrupted and flunky of the national and multinational companies.”

The citizens will walk over APC in 2027. They are tired of suffering

If the election is conducted today, 3rd of January 2026, looking at the political situation of the country...I also think Tinubu will edge it.
Politics is dynamic, things change as we progress into 2026/2027 ...so, if the opposition can really settle down and start massive grassroots mobilisation and also put their selfish interests asides, backing a very strong candidate....they have a chance.
But as at today, Tinubu edges it.
