Omo! 2027 will be hot o 😲. Baba-Ahmed says contenders should show red eyes or forget defeating Tinubu
Senator Datti Baba-Ahmed isn’t holding back. The former Labour Party vice-presidential candidate has warned anyone thinking of taking on President Bola Tinubu that this won’t be a game and the courtroom won’t save you.
Speaking at a recent public engagement, Baba-Ahmed warned that any serious challenger must be ready for an intense political contest, stressing that victory would not come through the courts. “Whoever is going to defeat Tinubu must be ready to show red eyes. There’s no going to court,” he said.
His remarks have triggered mixed reactions. Supporters argue he was emphasizing the need for vigilance, grassroots mobilisation, and strong electoral organisation to prevent manip+lation before and during elections. Critics, however, say the language could heighten political tension in an already charged atmosphere.
Baba-Ahmed, a long-time critic of Nigeria’s electoral process, appeared to be urging opposition forces to focus on protecting votes and building structures on the ground, rather than relying on legal challenges after results are announced.
The comments come as early political calculations begin ahead of the 2027 general elections, with opposition figures debating the most effective strategy to challenge the APC and President Tinubu’s incumbency.
Hard truth. But they still won’t stand a chance, his own eyes are too red.
Any northern coming out to win Presidency is a joker, it’s a turn for the south. The question is will Obi win tinubu again? Also will he be given ticket to aso rock? Not possible coz Nigeria is a country with particular concern. going out to vote is a wasting of time / selection mandate
But he is right… But please not at the expense of people life at all
I like this man’s thought of views
Let him go and deliver is polling units
This why I always respect this man, he made his wealth with clean hand, always say the truth and nobody will do him anything.
If this man is a main contend and they rig him out, things go sup i swear
He’s actually saying it the way it should be said
Presidential aspirants don plenty pass POS operators. 🤭🤭🤭
If their eyes red Tinubu’s eyes would be reder than red itself, make una dey play o 🤣🤣
