Tambuwal, during an interview on Channels Television’s Politics Today programme on Friday, downplayed the perceived power of incumbency by the Tinubu government.
Former Sokoto State Governor, Aminu Tambuwal, has refuted claims suggesting that President Bola Tinubu cannot be voted out of office in the 2027 election.
Tambuwal, during an interview on Channels Television’s Politics Today programme on Friday, downplayed the perceived power of incumbency by the Tinubu government.
The former Speaker of the House of Representatives expressed determination to work for the defeat of Tinubu, stressing that the plan to oust the current government is a matter of national consensus.
Tambuwal, a member of the opposition coalition, also dismissed claims that the coalition is a pro-northern Nigeria agenda to remove President Tinubu come 2027.
He said, “I am fully involved in a process democratically and lawfully that will end, by the grace of God, in sending this government out of office.
“With the help of God and Nigeria, we will send these people out of office.
“It is a national consensus. Is Peter Obi from Northern Nigeria? Is Aregbesola not from Osun State? There should be a change of guards in Aso Rock through a constitutional democratic process on May 29th, 2027.
“It is not cast in stone that he may not lose in 2027. Every effort is being made to make it as if he is invisible, that Bola Tinubu cannot be defeated is rubbish.
“He can be defeated. I believe so and I am working along with the coalition leaders to do that in the interest of the country. It is not about Bola Tinubu. It is about the way he is running the country.”
