APC chieftain, Olatunbosun Oyintiloye has stated that no political gang up can prevent President Bola Tinubu’s re-election in 2027.

His comment comes in response to the defection of former Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai from the All Progressives Congress (APC) to the SDP and his outreach to politicians like Rauf Aregbesola to join him.

In a statement issued on Sunday, March 17, 2025, Oyintiloye described these efforts as futile, asserting that the President has a winning strategy to counter his enemies at the appropriate time.

Oyintiloye pointed out that defections are a common occurrence in politics, and it would be a mistake to assume that the defection of the "so-called APC members” would impact the president’s chances in 2027.

“Leave it or take, no amount of political gang up can stop the re-election of President Tinubu in 2027. Those who are gathering against him ahead of 2027 should try and study the kind of person the President is.

“He has the winning strategy, and he is raising men and women of goodwill across Nigeria. His achievements, political sagacity, and love for the country will speak for him now and in the future,” he said.

The former lawmaker noted that the President is striving to elevate the country to greatness, and Tinubu’s efforts are already yielding positive outcomes.

“The president will succeed, and his political enemies will realise the mistakes they are making by not supporting him. Those who are whipping up sentiments against the President should check his track records, achievements, and popularity across Nigeria.

“Tinubu’s political strength, strong connection, influence, resilience which made him triumph over all obstacles to win in 2023, will see him through in 2027," the APC chieftain added.
