Analysts Warn APC and Tinubu’s ‘Money Politics’ May Backfire in 2027

Political analysts, civil society groups and youth movements warn that the All Progressives Congress and President Bola Tinubu risk defeat in 2027 due to over-reliance on cash incentives rather than genuine popular mandate. A recent report from the Centre for Transparent Democracy argues that palliatives and financial handouts no longer sway voters facing persistent hardship. Traders in Kano, Aba and Ibadan say they accepted money in 2023 but remained hungry, and now plan to vote by conscience. Opposition strategists and insiders within the ruling party admit this “wealth strategy” has weakened grassroots connection and moral authority. They caution that unless APC reforms its approach, Nigerians will choose ballots over banknotes at the next poll.
