Opposition figures and public analysts on Monday, have criticized President Bola Tinubu’s reported 11-million-vote outcome in the All Progressives Congress (APC) primary, describing the figures as “allocated,” “questionable,” and politically troubling ahead of the 2027 general elections.

The concerns were raised during VOP This Morning's program on Voice of the People TV, where legal experts, political commentators, and opposition representatives questioned the credibility of the reported turnout and broader implications for Nigeria’s democratic process.

Speaking during the live interview, lawyer and representative of the New Democratic Coalition (NDC), Ladi Johnson, alleged that the reported figures appeared aimed at shaping a political narrative ahead of future elections.

“No, I think that just shows you that they think they’re laying the foundation to rig that, that’s all they’re doing,” Mr Johnson said.

The remarks come amid growing opposition consultations and coalition talks ahead of the 2027 elections, with several political actors discussing possible alliances against the ruling APC.

Mr Johnson also criticized the APC-led administration’s economic messaging, arguing that worsening living conditions remain a major concern for Nigerians.

“Look, millions of Nigerians, tens of millions have fallen into poverty in the last three-plus years. So it’s just a joke.”

Projecting political resistance ahead of 2027, Mr Johnson added:

“The will of the people of the country will prevail… and this will be a one-term president.”

He further linked the controversy to wider concerns about political pressure and opposition suppression.

“This is indicative of the sort of government we have, the people they mobilize to break down the opposition and even members of their own party.”

Mr Johnson also pointed to electricity shortages, infrastructure gaps, and insecurity as key issues that could shape voter sentiment in the next election cycle.

Nlfpmod can you explain better?

Obidient analyst definitely. For sensible political analyst, the figures wouldn't be a surprise at all. In 2027,the president will even get more votes than what he got at the primaries.

Instead of analysts to analyze their own abysmal outcome,they are analyzing their dream that never came true

We've carefully watched the APC and their paid, lying instruments gaslight Nigerians since Tinubu and Yakubu stole an election he did not win.

And the mechanisms is steadily being put in place for a repeat by this same gang of despicable criminals. It will not end well this time.

A government thatl messed up everything in Nigeria and sent Nigerians into poverty and early grave is shamefully claiming 11 million audio votes in presidential primary election.

Tinubu wants to rig the elections again, but this time he will not succeed.

PETER OBI is the best choice for president of Nigeria in 2027

My own be say, as dem publish their fake figures and jumpology electoral counting methodology, we go dey forward am to President Trump, White House and US congress via email and their social media handles, make dem dey see how crooked APC dey..

No time..

The best way for Trump to reduce the migration of Nigerians to the US, is to support the removal of Tinubu and APC who have destroyed the economy of Nigeria and forced people out of the country for greener pastures.

Tinubu's ouster is a win-win for Trump and Nigerians.

Okay now. We are waiting for you minority noisemakers to do your worst. Bring it on, we are waiting.

LOL...this is getting out of hand

FIrst there were a lot of defections to APC in the last 2 years. The shocker is that the vote was as low as 10 million self.

Second, a lot of people don't vote in the presidential election. I mean, I can recall hearing people say that they were getting their PVC in 2019 to use as ID card not to vote , lol. A person voting in the primaries may be sitting down at home with the calm assurance tinubu don win..so he or she ain't gonna vote.

Trump supporting the removal of tinubu won't change migration patterns

Any new president of Nigeria would , in order to make things better, have to embark on a series of reforms...that would not only take a lot of time , but would mean even more initial hardship.Development won;t be overnight.

Also, a lot of Nigerians were japa because the dollar has always been mightier than the dollar. (Infact, I remember one time back in the 1990's when a former member of the church I was attending then, who had done an Andrew and moved to the USA, donated 500 dollars to the church building fund. See rejoicing. And some of you would call those days better than now). The only way to make Nigeria as developed as the US is by removing subsides on electricity, developing an industrial economy and also aggresiviely fighting corruption, and so forth...and doing all that is going to take a long long long time.

Trump is also reducing immigration because people in his country think that there are far too many immigrants...even EUROPEAN immigrants are getting deported.
