Nwanyanwu Sends Strong Message to Tinubu Ahead of 2027 Election

The National Chairman of the Zenith Labour Party (ZLP), Dan Nwanyanwu, has accused the All Progressives Congress (APC) and supporters of President Bola Tinubu, of planning to manipulate the 2027 election.

Nwanyanwu reportedly made the allegation during an appearance on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Tuesday.

He promised that the opposition would fight hard against the ruling party in the elections.

He also dismissed assertions that the result of the 2027 presidential election is already predetermined.

“I think they want to write results. We are ready; we will give them the pen and paper to write the results. We’re not going anywhere, we’re staying in this country. This election is going to be a competitive one. “It’s not finished,” Nwanyanwu said.

His comments come as political activity has increased as the general election of 2027 approaches, with major political parties accelerating preparations and forming alliances.

He cautioned Tinubu against what he described as overzealous political manoeuvres by some of the President’s supporters, which he warned could damage the public image of the Nigerian leader ahead of the 2027 general election.

Nwanyanwu observed that some persons claiming to support the President are practising acts that alienate the people and diminish the support for Tinubu.

“I think President Tinubu should be careful of some people that claim to be his supporters. “Their over-enthusiasm is turning people off him,” he said.

The presidential aspirant said some of Tinubu’s supporters are jeopardising his chances for re-election by distancing themselves from Nigerians who previously supported him.

“I am not in a position to advise him since I am also vying for that position but this situation is making him quite unpopular,” he said.

“There are also people who initially supported Tinubu because of his leadership but have since withdrawn their support due to the company he keeps.”
