- Oladotun Hassan, the president of the Yoruba Council Worldwide, described the development as a game of chess, urging politicians to work for the success of the current administration
Nigerian politicians have started making permutations three years before the 2027 presidential election. This is as supporters of many politicians have had their campaign posters for the next general election surface online.
Aare Oladotun Hassan, the president of the Yoruba Council Worldwide, described the development in an exclusive interview with Legit.ng as a chess game. He maintained that the focus should be on the present administration rather than the next general election.

He said:
"Posters in this part of the world are like a chess game. In Nigeria, instead of focusing on the success of the current administration, the next election is always their priority, the posters being pasted all around; if not by themselves, then they would have sponsored some people to do so."

Below is a list of the politicians whose posters have surfaced so far:
Bola Tinubu's campaign billboard
President Bola Tinubu's campaign billboard, which recently surfaced in Abuja, the Nigerian capital, is top on the list.
Since he resumed office, the president has often been accused of focusing on 2027 politics rather than governance.
Tinubu's 2027 re-election campaign featured a photo of him and his wife, Remi, in a loving embrace. The caption "Grassroots support for Tinubu 2027" suggests a strong support base for the president's bid for a second term.
The billboard, sponsored by Dark Matters, is near the national stadium. It appears just a few months after Tinubu celebrated his first year as President of Nigeria.

Atiku/Obi 2027 presidential campaign surface
The former vice president, Atiku Abubakar, and Peter Obi both contested the 2023 presidential election on the platforms of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and the Labour Party, respectively.
However, a campaign poster of the duo contesting in the 2027 presidential race has recently surfaced online, suggesting a possible permutation between the two.

Seyi Makinde for president

The APC national chairman, Abdullahi Ganduje, and the governor of Imo state, Hope Uzodimma, are not left out in the permutation as their campaign posters for president and vice president recently floated on the internet.
However, Ganduje and Uzodimma denied nursing presidential ambition in the 2027 election.
APC speaks on plot to sack Ganduje
Legit.ng earlier reported that the APC has dismissed the report that some powers within the party's rank are plotting to remove its national chairman, Abdullahi Ganduje.
Barrister Fetus Fuanter, the APC deputy national secretary, said the party is unaware of any ambassadorial appointment for Ganduje.
Fuanter's disclaimer followed the report that President Bola Tinubu had decided to give Ganduje an ambassadorial position to facilitate his removal as the APC national chairman.
