Former Edo State Governor and current Nigerian Senator Adams Oshiomhole is betting big on President Bola Tinubu’s chances in a free and fair election today. In a lively interview on Channels Television, the ex-Nigerian Labour Congress chief didn’t hold back, saying Tinubu’s already done enough to lock in a second term.

Tinubu made some bold promises while campaigning for the 2023 elections, and while he’s ticked off a few, others are still a work in progress. When asked if Tinubu could win a fair vote given Nigeria’s struggles with the economy, security, and politics, Oshiomhole was all in. “He’d win, and he’d win big,” he said confidently. He pointed to real changes making a difference.

Oshiomhole shared a story about a senator who recently rejoined the APC, noting that before Tinubu took office, farmers in his area were too scared to work their fields due to rampant insecurity. Now, they’re back on their farms, and that senator credits Tinubu for the turnaround. Plus, new roads have made life easier for folks in that region, with hopes for even more progress now that the senator’s back in the APC fold.

Oshiomhole admitted that sitting in a place like Lagos, it’s easy to miss these wins when everyone’s focused on the bigger problems. But he urged people to look closer. One of Tinubu’s gutsiest moves? Scrapping the shady exchange rate system that let well-connected folks buy dollars dirt cheap from the Central Bank and flip them for massive profits.

“Tinubu could’ve played that game, but he shut it down on day one,” Oshiomhole said. Now, everyone—president, senator, or regular Nigerian—gets the same rate. That, he argued, took serious courage and leveled the playing field, even if it ruffled feathers among the elite.

President Tinubu’s Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, has sent a strong message to Peter Obi, cautioning him against forming a joint ticket with former Vice President Atiku Abubakar ahead of the 2027 elections. Onanuga believes Obi would not enjoy the same level of passionate support he had in 2023 if he decides to play second fiddle to Atiku.

According to him, many of Obi’s supporters were drawn to his individual candidacy and would likely not back an alliance that makes him a running mate. Speaking during an interview on Arise Television’s Prime Time, Onanuga maintained that the APC remains confident going into 2027. He said Tinubu’s work in office will speak volumes when it’s time to campaign again.

He added that while opposition figures like Obi, Atiku, and other political players are busy testing out alliances and strategies, the ruling party is focused on governance and delivery, which, he claims, will keep Tinubu in power beyond 2027. Obi and Atiku are currently involved in a political coalition that recently adopted the African Democratic Congress (ADC) as its platform.
