An African Democratic Congress (ADC) chieftain, Fabiyi Oladimeji, says President Bola Tinubu cannot be defeated in the 2027 general elections by any presidential candidate from Nigeria’s South. Speaking on Trust TV on Friday, he argues that only the ADC candidate, Atiku Abubakar, has the political strength to unseat Tinubu.
Both outlets report that Oladimeji’s remarks come as opposition figures move toward greater coordination ahead of 2027. One outlet adds that his comments are linked to the formation of a coalition of 100 stakeholders, known as the G-100, which is working to unite opposition parties. He says the success of such efforts depends on sincerity and commitment to democratic principles, while also emphasizing continued dialogue among opposition leaders.
The outlets largely align on Oladimeji’s core claim and the setting of the interview. The main difference is that one source specifically notes the G-100 coalition as the immediate political context for the statements.
