As reported by Daily Nigerian, he stated this during an interview on Inside Sources with Loalu Akande on Channels TV.
He urged to review some of his policies and rejig his cabinet to stand a chance.
He listed Tinubu’s unpopular policies including petrol subsidy removal, the unification of forex rates, the electricity tariff hike, and the telecoms tariff hike, among others.
“He [Tinubu] needs to review some of his policies, he needs to rejig his cabinet if he wants to leave a legacy that by two years. And I don’t see him surviving another election with the same kind of policies going on.”
According to Gabam, the agitations against the Tinubu government were similar to those against former President Goodluck Jonathan.
Gadam said Jonathan couldn’t survive the protests that started two years into his administration.
He downplayed the possibility of 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 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, Gabam shared the strategic meeting with Nasir El-Rufai, Segun Sowunmi, and other politicians ahead of the 2027 elections.
