Bashir El-Rufai, the son of former Kaduna State governor Nasir El-Rufai, has asserted that the Labour Party’s presidential candidate in the 2023 general election, Peter Obi, stood a better chance of defeating incumbent President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 elections.

Bashir stated this in a post on X (formerly Twitter) on Thursday, opining that even former Vice President Atiku Abubakar was not capable of defeating President Tinubu if Obi picks a formidable northern running mate.

According to Bashir, Obi poses a serious threat to Atiku, particularly due to his significant youth followers and broad-based grassroots popularity.

“Atiku is a force to be reckoned with. He also feels the stars have finally aligned in his favour,” he wrote.

“And although 2019 is thought to have been his best shot, this may be one of those ‘moment meets the man’.

“However, the sheer force of Obi’s numbers and cult-like follower-ship brings a challenge. His appeal across the youth & this younger generation is one profound aspect of his leverage. Obi, as a flag bearer with a strong Northern candidate, would defeat Pablo on election day before our dear mother of the nation — Aunty Remi finishes his breakfast around noon.”

LEADERSHIP recalls that Bashir’s father, El-rufai along with other opposition leaders including Atiku, Obi, former Rivers State governor Rotimi Amaechi, former Senate President David Mark and former Minister of Interior, Rauf Aregbesola, among others, formed an alliance which was unveiled in Abuja on March 20 on the platform of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) to contest the 2027 elections.

The coalition aims to defeat the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in the next general election.
