Former Minister of Sports, Solomon Dalung, has claimed that President Bola Tinubu will not secure re-election in 2027 even if he were to appoint his son, Seyi Tinubu, as the chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
Dalung made the remark during an appearance on News Central on Friday night, emphasizing that the 2027 polls will not just be another election but a direct confrontation between the Nigerian people and the Tinubu administration.
He said the growing dissatisfaction across the country has turned public sentiment sharply against the government, making re-election highly unlikely regardless of any institutional maneuvering.

Dalung said: “Like I promised President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, even if the 36 state governors of Nigeria defect to the APC and he appoints Seyi Tinubu as the chairman of INEC and maybe appoints his wife as the Chief Justice of Nigeria, they will be defeated in 2027.
“Because it is we against them. Nigerians should buckle for 2027, because the battle line has been drawn by the government of President Tinubu, which has declared war against the Nigerian people.
“The government has weaponized poverty, hunger and hardship.
“The only option we have now is to align with the coalition movement to reposition ourselves and confront the government in 2027.”
