APC Chieftain Claims Tinubu is Unbeatable in 2027 Election

• An APC chieftain has claimed President Tinubu is unbeatable in 2027, citing control over governors, state resources, and alleged electoral influence.
• The statement has sparked backlash, with many Nigerians condemning it as an open admission of vote-buying and rigging.

A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has sparked widespread reactions after boldly declaring that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu cannot be defeated in the 2027 presidential election.

According to the APC figure, Tinubu’s political dominance is rooted in his firm grip on power structures across the country. He claimed the president currently has the backing of 31 state governors, full access to the federal treasury, and control over critical institutions involved in the electoral process.

In a controversial statement, the chieftain alleged that voters could be induced with ₦20,000 each to secure electoral support. He further claimed that even if voters refused such inducements, there could be alleged “glitches” in the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) server, implying that the election outcome would still favour the incumbent.

“So, no one can defeat Tinubu in 2027,” the APC chieftain concluded.

The remarks have since triggered intense debate online, with many Nigerians condemning the comments as an endorsement of vote-buying and electoral manipulation, while others argue the statement reflects the harsh realities of Nigerian politics.

Neither the APC leadership nor INEC has officially responded to the claims at the time of this report.

“Tinubu has 31 Governors. He has the treasury. He will give 20k per voters and they will vote him. If they refuse to collect, there will be glitch in INEC SERVER. So, no one can defeat Tinubu in 2027”.
