In a recent post, social media activist VeryDarkMan expressed his views on the future of Nigerian politics, particularly concerning the upcoming 2027 presidential election. He said that Peter Obi, the Labour Party’s 2023 presidential candidate, stands no chance in the next election.
VeryDarkMan also dismissed the prospects of other prominent figures, such as Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP), stating that neither would succeed in their presidential bids.
He also highlighted the powerful presence of President Bola Tinubu and the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC). According to VeryDarkMan, Tinubu’s determination and political acumen should not be underestimated, emphasizing that Tinubu is highly motivated to secure a second term in office.
These comments came in response to a recent meeting between Peter Obi and Atiku Abubakar, which had fueled speculation about a possible merger of opposition parties. VeryDarkMan urged the opposition to reconsider their strategies, declaring that any merger would be futile against Tinubu’s political stand.
He went further to praise Tinubu, labeling him as the greatest politician of all time and cautioning the opposition against underestimating his capabilities. Predicting that Tinubu would remain in power until 2032, VeryDarkMan advised opposition parties to abandon their merger plans, reiterating his belief that Peter Obi’s chances in the 2027 election are minimal.
In his own words, he stated, “I’m tired of hearing about Peter Obi and Atiku planning a merger for 2027 to take over the presidency. The truth is, Peter Obi, Atiku, or Kwankwaso cannot even come close to winning the presidential seat in 2027.
The opposition consistently underestimates President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu. Over time, it will become clear that Tinubu is indeed the greatest politician of all time. He is intelligent, strategic, and relentless. Underestimating him is a grave mistake. He will stay in office until 2032. The opposition should abandon their merger plans; Peter Obi in 2027 is simply not feasible.”
