Senator Enyinnaya Harcourt Abaribe, representing Abia South Senatorial District, has declared that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu will lose the 2027 presidential election, insisting that the outcome of the 2023 polls did not reflect the true will of Nigerians.
Abaribe made the statement during an appearance on Politics Today on Channels Television, hosted by Seun Okinbaloye. The former Deputy Governor of Abia State spoke confidently about the political mood of Nigerians and what he described as growing readiness among voters ahead of the next general election.
During the programme, the host noted claims that President Tinubu had never lost an election. Abaribe disagreed, saying electoral defeat is something every politician faces at one point or another.
“You will see, he will lose in 2027,” Abaribe said when asked directly if he believed Tinubu would be defeated.
Explaining the basis for his confidence, the senator argued that Nigerians are dissatisfied with the current situation in the country and are more politically conscious than before.
“I know what Nigerians are feeling outside. Tinubu never won the elections of 2023 and everybody knows it,” Abaribe stated. “But we said no problem, he has been declared winner. We acknowledge him as President.”
He further suggested that what he described as last-minute election result announcements would no longer be tolerated by the electorate.
“In 2027, we are going to meet him in the field,” he said. “There will be no more announcements at 3am where people wake up in the morning and are told who won. This time, it will not work.”
According to Abaribe, Nigerians across the country are more alert, organised, and determined to ensure that their votes count.
“The people are ready, we are ready, and the masses are even more ready,” he added. “If you conduct an election today, you already know what the outcome will be.”
His comments come amid ongoing national debates about electoral transparency, governance, and public confidence in Nigeria’s democratic process ahead of the 2027 general elections.
