Legit.ng reports that in 2027, former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, ex-Anambra governor Peter Obi, and several opposition leaders are preparing for the biggest battle of their political careers: to democratically unseat a man often described as a political god, Tinubu, whose first four-year presidential term concludes in 2027.
Tinubu, Atiku’s former associate, whom he nearly ran with on a joint ticket in the 2007 presidential election, according to WikiLeaks memos, will be on the ballot representing the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC). Both men were founding fathers of the party.
Despite facing significant security challenges during his tenure, Tinubu is still widely regarded as the man to beat.
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), considered the main opposition, has seen its influence wane in parts of the south and north, as the African Democratic Congress (ADC) grows in prominence with new high-profile members.
Within the PDP, internal divisions persist, with factions led by Kabiru Turaki (SAN) and Nyesom Wike, minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), vying for legitimacy.
As Nigerians look forward to the 2027 elections, both the ADC and PDP have vowed to unseat President Tinubu.
Already, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has fixed the 2027 presidential and National Assembly elections for Saturday, February 20, 2027.
INEC Chairman Joash Amupitan announced the timetable and schedule of the elections at a press conference in Abuja on Friday, February 13, 2026.
He stated that the announcement was in line with the provisions of the 1999 Constitution and Section 28(1) of the Electoral Act 2022, which requires the commission to publish notice of elections not later than 360 days before the appointed date.
The announcement comes amid debate over the Electoral Amendment Bill before the National Assembly.
