2027: Osun election shows how opposition parties can remove Tinubu — Lukman

Salihu Lukman, leader of the opposition coalition, has claimed that Ademola Adeleke's recent victory in the Osun governorship election demonstrates how opposition parties can remove President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in the 2027 presidential election. The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) confirmed Adeleke as the winner, defeating the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate, Bola Oyebamiji.

Lukman's statement came to light in a recent interview, and his remarks have sparked numerous reactions from Nigerians and political analysts. The opposition coalition, while not lacking support from the populace, is currently grappling with fragmentation. Lukman emphasized the need for unity among opposition leaders across Nigeria to achieve their goal of removing President Tinubu.

He emphasized, "Nigeria's opposition does not suffer from a shortage of popular support. Its greatest challenge is fragmentation." Lukman urged opposition leaders to demonstrate the same courage, restraint, and willingness to compromise that led to Adeleke's success in Osun.
