APC Says Goodluck Jonathan Cannot Defeat Tinubu If He Runs in 2027
The Lagos State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has dismissed speculations that former President Goodluck Jonathan could challenge and defeat President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 presidential election.
In a statement on Friday, the party’s spokesperson, Seye Oladejo, said while Jonathan deserves credit for overseeing a peaceful transition of power in 2015, his return to the presidential race would not pose any real threat to Tinubu.
He argued that Nigeria has moved past politics built on emotions and nostalgia. Also, he stressed that the country now needs bold, forward-looking leadership to tackle present challenges. According to him, Jonathan’s administration between 2010 and 2015 left behind serious structural problems. These problems includes rising corruption, insecurity, and economic stagnation.
Oladejo also highlighted legal and political hurdles that could surround a possible Jonathan comeback. Having already served more than one term, he said any attempt at another run would spark constitutional debates and potential instability at a time when Nigeria needs focus and unity.
He further noted that Jonathan’s political relevance is uncertain, pointing to his mixed signals in recent years, ranging from his quiet engagements with the APC to his lack of active involvement in rebuilding the PDP. These moves, he said, cast doubt on the former president’s loyalty and political direction.

Governor of Bauchi State, Bala Mohammed, has spoken on the allegation that terrorism and the increase in insecurity are linked to his administration in the state.
The governor then said “This is a country where when you work, you become a villain. I have kept quiet for too long for peace and security. But I am not a coward. I will not join them. I refuse to join their party,” he stated.
“We have built our health system, primary education, and reduced out-of-school children. We have been awarded three times by the federal government for development and good governance. And they are accusing us? What kind of paradox is this?”

Media personality Dele Momodu reacts and shares his thoughts regarding First Lady Remi Tinubu interrupting the Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, during a recent event.
The event was the 10th coronation anniversary of the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi. In the scene, while Governor Adeleke was giving a speech, he began with a worship song. But while singing, the First Lady stood up and met him to inform him to stop singing and go directly to his speech instead.
Media personality Dele then reacted and questioned why she would do something like that, asking if she would have done the same kind of interruption if it were the recitation of the Qur’an.

First Lady Oluremi Tinubu Speaks on Forgiveness and Moving Forward
First Lady of Nigeria, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, has shared that she has forgiven those who betrayed her husband during the 2023 general elections.
She revealed this as she marked a new age, reflecting on what the future holds. She emphasized that she holds no grudge against anyone.
“I do not have anything against anyone. The question is how I stopped feeling the betrayal? I knew the grace factor was evident, and the Holy Spirit continually comforted me. I chose never to avenge myself, understanding that it is God’s prerogative. Mine is to thank Him for fighting for us. If God decides to fight your battles and you have won, is there anything else that God missed and you wanted to fix? Nothing. So, let it go.”
