2027 Polls: Gladiator Tinubu Versus Holiness Opponents
As candidates prepare for the kick off of the campaigns in August, 2026, ahead of Nigeria’s presidential poll in January, 2027, Chido Nwangwu captures some of the dimensions of the political battle strategies.
I think that the forthcoming 2027 presidential campaign and elections in Nigeria will, critically, test the worthiness, usefulness and articulation of competing viewpoints and strategies for improving an increasingly embattled Nigeria. Otherwise, Nigerians and Nigeria could remain in perilous seas! The youth have seen exploitation and explosion of their hopes and dreams! No; they are sick and tired of being sick and tired!
It was the famous, incisive American journalist, the late Ambrose Bierce who defined politics as “A strife of interests masquerading as a contest of principles. The conduct of public affairs for private advantage.”
Nigeria’s President Tinubu’s political bulldozers are, consequentially, clearing the path for the “private advantage” of One major candidate (Tinubu) for the (re)election of Tinubu in 2027.
