2027: Rotimi speaks on Tinubu's chances
Speaking on Tinubu's fate in the 2027 election, Rotimi said:
"They say, 'Elections are not won by the opposition. They’re lost by the incumbent government.' This rings true in our case too. To a certain extent, the accomplishment of this government will determine its fate come 2027.
"However, this is Nigeria, we have our own peculiarities. Another factor is Tinubu himself. This is a man who has never lost an election in which he was on the ballot, with infiltration and mobilisation capacities other politicians can only dream of, I don't see them posing any threat to his re-election."
