An All Progressives Congress (APC) chieftain, Abdulhakeem Adegoke Alawuje, has, ahead of the 2027 general elections, noted that opponents of President Bola Tinubu are confused because the President “is operating on a different political frequency.”The APC chieftain strongly dismissed claims that President Tinubu could face a serious electoral challenge in 2027 from opposition figures such as Atiku Abubakar, Nasir El-Rufai or Peter Obi.
Alawuje said Nigeria deserves “truth over political noise” and leadership grounded in strategy, resilience and long-term vision.President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is operating on a different political frequency,” he declared, “and that is precisely why his opponents remain confused,” he said.
In a statement on Thursday, Alawuje described recent political commentary credited to media personality Dele Momodu as “speculative politics disguised as analysis,” insisting that it is both outdated and misleading.According to the APC chieftain, suggestions that President Tinubu could be unseated in 2027 on the platform of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) or any similar coalition reflect what he termed “wrong political novice calculations.”
“None of the mentioned personalities possesses the political weight, structure, or national momentum capable of dislodging President Tinubu in 2027.
“Persisting in this narrative is nothing more than a waste of time, energy, and resources,” Alawuje said.
Alawuje accused some critics of turning attacks on President Tinubu into a commercial enterprise, arguing that criticism now attracts more media attention than objective analysis.
He recalled that Tinubu had warned during the 2023 presidential campaign that insulting or criticising him had become a business model for certain individuals and platforms.
He further alleged that Dele Momodu’s political assessments were rooted in the past and disconnected from Nigeria’s evolving political realities.“The Nigeria of today is not operating on recycled assumptions,” Alawuje said. “The 2027 election will be an elephant test, too heavy for Mallam Nasir El-Rufai, given the limits of his political reach, and far too complex for Alhaji Atiku Abubakar considering the entrenched political forces involved.”
Commenting onthe Labour Party’s 2023 presidential candidate, Peter Obi, Alawuje suggested that Obi should focus on his private business interests rather than pursuing “political equations that do not add up”.
The APC chieftain maintained that President Tinubu operates on a level beyond that of his critics, which, he said, explains their persistent misunderstanding of his leadership approach.
Highlighting what he described as emerging gains under the Tinubu administration, Alawuje pointed to signs of economic stabilisation, including gradual fuel price adjustments after subsidy removal and an improving naira exchange rate.
He also cited the exposure of internal sabotage and what he termed a more mature and strategic diplomatic posture.
“Yes, President Tinubu revived many long-abandoned systems simultaneously,” he said. “While critics argue this slowed visible achievements, the truth is that none of these systems can function in isolation.”Alawuje acknowledged that progress may appear gradual but insisted it is steady and sustainable. He called for constructive criticism rooted in reality rather than what he described as sensational journalism driven by personal relevance and outdated media influence.
