The recent declaration by the Presidency that Bola Tinubu will contest and win the 2027 Presidential Election has sparked widespread controversy and raised fundamental questions about the administration’s priorities and sensitivity to citizens’ plight.

According to Chief Ameh Peter, National Secretary of the Coalition of United Political Parties (CUPP), “The declaration by the Presidency that Tinubu will win the 2027 Presidential Election is not only premature but also unrealistic.” He added, “This approach not only demonstrates a lack of empathy but also reinforces the perception that the government is disconnected from the people.”

The boastful statement, coming at a time when millions of Nigerians are struggling to make ends meet, has been perceived as tone-deaf and out of touch with the harsh realities on the ground. “In a democratic system, the government’s primary responsibility is to respond to the needs and aspirations of its citizens,” Chief Ameh Peter emphasized. “Instead of boasting about electoral victories, the administration should focus on addressing the pressing issues that have brought the country to its knees.”

The administration’s policies have exacerbated poverty, inflation, and unemployment, eroding public trust and confidence in the government’s ability to deliver on its promises. “Poverty, insecurity, and infrastructure development are just a few of the challenges that require urgent attention,” Chief Ameh Peter noted.

The declaration also raises questions about the administration’s understanding of democracy and the electoral process. Democracy is about the people, and their voices must be heard. The administration’s boastful claim that Tinubu will win the 2027 Presidential Election undermines the democratic process and ignores the possibility that Nigerians may have a different choice.

As Chief Ameh Peter concluded, “Nigerians deserve a more inclusive and responsive governance that prioritizes their needs and aspirations.” The administration should focus on addressing the pressing issues facing the country rather than making boasts about electoral victories.
