Solomon Dalung, a former Minister of Sports and Youth Development, stated that he has promised President Bola Tinubu that his government will be destroyed in 2027, even if his son, Seyi Tinubu, is chosen Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission.
Dalung stated during an interview with New Central on Friday that President Tinubu’s administration has declared war on Nigerians and weaponised poverty.
According to him, the only option to save Nigeria is for opposition party leaders to join a newly formed coalition on the African Democratic Congress (ADC) platform and challenge the APC government in the 2027 elections.
He said, “Nigerians should buckle up for 2027 because the battle line has been drawn. The government of President Bola Tinubu has declared war against the Nigerian people. The government has weaponised poverty, hunger and hardship and has popularised corruption, impunity and injustice.
“The only option we have now is to align with the coalition movement, to reposition ourselves and confront the government in 2027.”
Dalung is confident that the president will be defeated in the next general election, adding that even if his relatives are in positions that could influence the outcome of the 2027 poll, his administration would still be voted out.
“Like I promised President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, even if the 36 state governors defect to the APC and he appoints his son, Seyi Tinubu, as the chairman of INEC, and maybe he will appoint his wife, the chief justice of Nigeria, and INEC will be the last institution to decamp, he will be defeated in 2027,” Dalung said.
Remember that opposition leaders have established the ADC as their political platform for the 2027 election.
The party features some of Nigeria’s political heavyweights, such as former state governors, lawmakers, and ministers.
