Hakeem Baba-Ahmed: Tinubu will lose before 4pm if 2027 election is credible, free and fair
Hakeem Baba-Ahmed, chairman of the Peoples Redemption Party, claims that President Bola Tinubu would lose the 2027 Nigerian election if it were conducted fairly. He cited widespread public anger and the internal instability of the ruling APC party as key factors.
Why it matters
The statement reflects growing political tension in Nigeria and highlights the opposition's strategy to challenge the incumbent administration's dominance.
Hakeem Baba-Ahmed, national chairman of the Peoples Redemption Party (PRP), says President Bola Tinubu will lose the 2027 presidential election before 4pm if the exercise is free, fair and credible.
“If it is a credible, free and fair election, I assure you Tinubu will lose. I won’t say before 12 noon, maybe before 4 pm in the evening,” Baba-Ahmed said during an interview on Channels Television on Wednesday.
“If it is not (credible), I foresee a very serious threat to Nigeria’s democracy. There are people out there, millions who are very angry.
“They desperately want an opportunity to express their anger through the ballot, and it is very important that we allow them to exercise that right. Play around that, and you are playing around with the future of this country.”
