Senator Orji Uzor Kalu has stated that he believes President Bola Tinubu will win re-election in 2027 without significant opposition, citing the current disarray among opposition parties. Speaking at a gathering of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Kalu emphasized that Tinubu faces no real competition as the opposition is fragmented and lacks the necessary support to challenge effectively.

Peter Obi, presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress ahead of next year's election, has said that Datti Baba-Ahmed remains his brother and ally despite their political differences. According to Information Nigeria, Obi's remarks followed comments by the former Labour Party vice-presidential candidate suggesting that none of the major opposition figures seeking to unseat President Bola Tinubu have the capacity to improve Nigeria.

Seyi Makinde, identified as the Allied Peoples Movement (APM) presidential candidate, on Wednesday accused the All Progressives Congress (APC) of desperation to silence the opposition ahead of Nigeria's 2027 elections. According to the Daily Post, Makinde was reacting to the blockade of the convoy of Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) presidential candidate Peter Obi in Benue State. He condemned the incident and said the APC was unable to market President Tinubu.

Senator Orji Kalu has stated that President Tinubu is the frontrunner for the 2027 election, claiming to have made this assessment from his own observations. He emphasized the importance of unity within the All Progressives Congress (APC) to address internal divisions and maintain strong support ahead of the election.

Yusuf Datti Baba-Ahmed, the Labour Party's vice-presidential candidate in Nigeria's 2023 election, has said that the major contenders expected to challenge President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 poll lack the capacity to move the country forward. Baba-Ahmed, who ran alongside Peter Obi in 2023, made the remarks during an appearance on the MicOn Podcast, according to Ripples Nigeria. His comments appear to dismiss Obi, former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, and other potential challengers ahead of the next presidential race.

A political figure identified as Daura, described as the running mate to Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde, has said President Bola Tinubu can be defeated in Nigeria's 2027 presidential election. According to Vanguard, when asked whether Tinubu could be beaten, Daura answered "Very well," arguing that the President's government has made "several errors." Daura also stated that Tinubu is "not a stranger" to him. The remarks, published by Vanguard News, reflect early political positioning ahead of the 2027 polls.
