A Professor of African History, Peace and Conflict Studies at the University of Ibadan, Prof. Olawale Albert, has predicted that President Bola Tinubu could adopt a more hardline approach to governance if re-elected for a second term in 2027.
Albert made this observation while featuring on *Redlines in Politics with Eyitayo Folorunso, a political programme on Diamond FM 101.1, University of Ibadan.
According to the professor, a second-term Tinubu administration could deliver a more secure Nigeria, as the President would be more determined to confront individuals and groups allegedly making the country ungovernable and sponsoring crises across the country.
On the lingering crises within Nigeria’s opposition parties, Albert described their challenges as largely internal, arguing that the political problems confronting them were more of an implosion than a consequence of external interference by the ruling party.
He advised opposition parties seeking to challenge the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in the 2027 general elections to consider presenting a consensus candidate, warning that failure to unite behind a common candidate could significantly undermine their chances of defeating the ruling party.
The political scientist also urged Nigerians not to succumb to intimidation or fear during the electoral process, encouraging citizens to turn out en masse and exercise their constitutional right to vote in the 2027 general elections.
