As reported by Daily Nigerian, Gabam stated this during an interview on Inside Sources with Loalu Akande on Channels TV.
He urged President Tinubu to review some of his policies and rejig his cabinet if he was to stand a chance at the polls in 2027.
He listed some of the unpopular policies including petrol subsidy removal, the unification of forex rates, and the electricity tariff hike.
“I don’t see him surviving another election with the same kind of policies going on," Gabam remarked.
According to the SDP chairman, unhappiness with the Tinubu government was similar to former President Goodluck Jonathan.
Gadam said Jonathan, who served Nigeria from 2010 to 2015, did not survive the protests that started two years into his leadership.
Likewise, Gabam downplayed the possibility of President Tinubu winning his re-election through rigging or voter inducement.
“And there will be no president in history who has spent money to be reelected in the history of Nigeria like President Jonathan. So, if people are thinking that they will use money, they are mistaken. You will only rig while you are popular.”
Legit.ng also reported that Gabam spoke about the policies of the APC government and his recent link-up with top political bigwigs in the country.
In a trending interview, he spoke about the strategic meeting with Nasir El-Rufai, Segun Sowunmi, and other politicians ahead of the 2027 elections.
