Backers of Obi are driven by tribal loyalty; Tinubu is poised for victory in 2027, according to Shehu Sani

Comrade Shehu Sani, a former Senator representing Kaduna Central and a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has labelled the support for former presidential candidate Peter Obi as a spectacle driven by tribal sentiments, and is convinced that President Bola Tinubu will secure re-election in the 2027 elections.

Sani voiced this opinion during a recent appearance on “The Honest Bunch Podcast,” where he was joined by human rights activist Deji Adeyanju for a discussion on the state of the nation and its leadership.

In his defence of the APC-led government, Sani stated that the backing for Peter Obi is essentially a form of theatre, with many supporters hailing from his ethnic background, and asserted that even if Obi were to become President, the status quo would remain unchanged.

n

Sani further argued that the opposition is not distinct from the ruling party, positing that Nigerians are being deceived by rehashed narratives, and that most political leaders share a similar ideological outlook.

n

He elaborated on this point by noting that key figures such as Obi, Obasanjo, Atiku, and Tinubu all hail from the same ideological perspective and possess similar political views.

Sani concluded by predicting that Tinubu will emerge victorious in the 2027 elections, and wryly observed that the choice facing voters is essentially between two unpalatable options, likening it to a decision between Satan and the devil.
