A member of the House of Representatives, Hon. Abdulmumin Jibrin, has expressed confidence that President Bola Tinubu will win the 2027 presidential election.
Jibrin, who represents Kiru/Bebeji federal constituency of Kano State under the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), made this known during an interview on Channels Television’s ‘Politics Today’ on Wednesday night.
“Again, I believe I cannot see anything that will stop him from winning the elections in 2027. I did not say again; I am saying I believe. There’s no two ways about it. I am a Tinubu person. I like him and he likes me. Irrespective of party affiliation, it has been a great relationship,” he said.
When asked if his position meant choosing Tinubu over NNPP leader, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, at the poll, Jibrin clarified, “No, I’d choose Kwankwaso and Bola Tinubu to work together, but Tinubu as president.”
Jibrin, a self-styled staunch Tinubu loyalist, once served as Director-General of the Bola Tinubu Support Group Council before defecting to the NNPP in May 2022, citing internal party disputes. He later pledged allegiance to Kwankwaso.
However, his recent engagements, including two visits to President Tinubu at the Presidential Villa in August 2025, have fuelled speculation about possible political realignments ahead of 2027.
