Popular social media influencer Pamilerin Adegoke has sparked widespread debate on X (formerly Twitter) after declaring that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is virtually unbeatable in the upcoming 2027 presidential election.
In a tweet that quickly gained traction online, Pamilerin made a bold political assessment, arguing that no opposition figure or party currently stands a realistic chance of unseating the incumbent president. He asserted that, regardless of the opposition's efforts, Tinubu’s hold on power would remain unchallenged in the next presidential race.
His remarks have divided public opinion and ignited heated conversations across political circles and social media platforms. Adegoke’s comments come amid a growing discourse surrounding the potential strength of opposition parties and their readiness for the upcoming election cycle.
“Let’s be honest with ourselves, unless we’re here to deceive each other, we should just start preparing for 2031. Nobody is beating Bola Ahmed Tinubu in 2027. Not Atiku. Not El-Rufai. Not Peter Obi. “Now let’s sit down and really analyze this supposed coalition. Who exactly is leading it, and who are the key players involved?” he wrote.
Pamilerin’s comments appear to challenge the credibility of ongoing coalition talks among opposition parties, which some have touted as the most viable path toward challenging the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the next election cycle. Adegoke's assertion questions the unity and leadership of these coalitions, calling into question their potential effectiveness in presenting a strong challenge to the ruling party in 2027.
Reactions to his post have ranged from fierce backlash to cautious agreement, with many users debating the state of the political opposition and the potential for meaningful change ahead of 2027. Some have agreed with Adegoke’s assessment, while others have criticized his outlook as overly pessimistic, arguing that the political landscape could shift in unexpected ways before the next election.
