Dalung Predicts Tinubu Defeat In 2027 Presidential Election

Former Minister of Youth and Sports Solomon Dalung has predicted a “woeful” defeat for President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 presidential election.

Dalung, a chieftain of the African Democratic Congress, made the prediction on Wednesday during an interview.

He said the outcome of the recent Osun State governorship election had reinforced his belief that Tinubu would lose the 2027 election regardless of his political structures.

Dalung claimed Tinubu would still be defeated even if he appointed his wife, Remi Tinubu, as Chief Justice of Nigeria and his son, Seyi Tinubu, as INEC chairman.

He blamed the country’s challenges on what he described as the failure of political leaders to uphold their constitutional responsibilities and prioritise the welfare of Nigerians.

Dalung also urged public officials to focus less on accumulating wealth and instead build a legacy that would outlive their time in office.
