A chieftain of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) and the 2023 Labour Party governorship candidate in Lagos State, Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour, has stated that President Bola Tinubu can’t win the 2027 election.
He stated this on Wednesday during an appearance on Channels Television.
Rhodes-Vivour explained that data from credible polls indicate that the president will not emerge victorious in the next presidential election.
According to him, “I have looked at data, we have polling that is going on now, credible polling, there is no pathway for the president to emerge victorious, that is why we are seeing all these shenanigans.”
He added, “There is no pathway for him. When you look at the North that gave him 62 per cent of his votes, you see the tsunami that is happening in the North. You have a president that created a government system that is just for the city boys. It is a city boys’ government. It’s not even a proper South-West government; it’s his cronies that are just in charge.”
The Lagos politician blamed the president for the crisis affecting opposition parties, including the ADC.
According to him, having assessed that the odds are against him ahead of the 2027 polls, the president is resorting to instigating crises within opposition ranks as a strategy to retain power.
“So, the best pathway is to create an environment where he is the only candidate on the ballot for the presidency. That is what he is trying to achieve, but he is not going to succeed,” he said.
