According to Joe Igbokwe, a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), former vice president Atiku Abubakar is the only recognized opposition figure with the potential to unseat President Bola Tinubu in 2027.
President Tinubu’s ardent fan Igbokwe made the assertion on Tuesday in a post on his official Facebook page.
Although Atiku is the sole candidate against Tinubu, he claimed that former President Olusegun Obasanjo had stifled his aspirations.
The, APC leader’s comment further expresses that Joe Igbokwe did not consider Peter Obi, the former Labour Party presidential candidate who received more over 6 million votes in the 2023 election as a potential threat to Tinubu’s 2027 presidency.
Taking to his Facebook page, he wrote, “The only person that is challenging PBAT in the 2027 Elections is Atiku Abubakar but unfortunately his former Boss & former President Olusegun Obasanjo has crushed and nailed his reputation in his Book: My Watch .It is what it is”.
Meanwhile in a more recent post, Joe Igbokwe indirectly mocked Atiku over his comments on his role as Nigeria’s most formidable opposition figure in Nigeria.
He said “We agree sir but there no road to Aso Villa. Your principal Former President Obasanjo dropped words about you to us in plain language. We have not forgotten. We cannot make the mistake sir”
Recall that the APC chieftain had also previously stated that regardless of the party they support, no state in Southern Nigeria would vote for a party other than the APC in 2027.
