ABUJA — The Minister of Defence, Gen. Christopher Musa (retd.), has dismissed claims by the presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, Peter Obi, and his running mate, Dr Rabiu Kwankwaso, that President Bola Tinubu could be defeated in the 2027 general elections.
Musa expressed confidence that the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, would retain the Presidency and win the governorship and other elective positions in Kaduna State in the 2027 elections.
He spoke on Thursday during an interview on Channels Television’s Politics Today, hours after Obi and Kwankwaso told their supporters that they were prepared to resist any attempt to manipulate the 2027 elections.
Obi had warned that voters would not allow their votes to be subverted at polling units, while Kwankwaso argued that the APC could lose the 2027 presidential election despite controlling more than 30 states, citing the defeat of former President Goodluck Jonathan in 2015.
Responding to suggestions that voters in Kaduna could punish the APC and Tinubu over the performance of the administration, Musa described the perceived rejection of the ruling party in the North as a matter of individual perception.
