Tinubu May Be Favoured in 2027, but Can He Win the Peace?

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu appears well positioned for the 2027 election, according to this editorial. It points to the number of governors and lawmakers backing him, along with what it describes as weaknesses among opposition candidates and their parties. The editorial says Atiku Abubakar may face a challenge in Adamawa, while Peter Obi would need strong support in Anambra. It also argues that other challengers lack the resources, networks or alliances to mount a strong campaign. But winning the election, it concludes, is not enough. The greater challenge will be building peace and earning the trust of Nigerians, especially amid economic pressures and concerns about money’s influence on political legitimacy.
