2027: Atiku Has Become Our Best Campaign Manager by Attacking Obi — Oshiomhole
Former Edo State governor and chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, Adams Oshiomhole, has stirred political reactions after claiming that former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has effectively become the APC’s “best campaign manager” because of his repeated criticisms of Peter Obi.
Oshiomhole made the remark while speaking about the growing political tension and opposition dynamics ahead of Nigeria’s 2027 general elections.
According to the former governor, continuous attacks among opposition figures could weaken their chances and indirectly benefit the ruling party politically. His statement has since generated widespread debate across Nigeria’s political landscape, especially among supporters of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Labour Party, and the APC.
The comment reflects the increasing political maneuvering already taking shape years before the next presidential election, as key political figures continue to position themselves and build alliances ahead of 2027.
Supporters of Peter Obi and Atiku Abubakar have since reacted differently online, with some dismissing Oshiomhole’s statement as political rhetoric, while others argue that opposition unity may become a major factor in future elections.
Political analysts note that internal disagreements and public exchanges between opposition leaders could significantly influence voter perception and party strategies moving forward.
Meanwhile, conversations surrounding coalition talks, political realignments, and potential presidential ambitions continue to dominate national political discussions.
As Nigeria gradually moves toward another election cycle, statements from influential political figures like Oshiomhole are expected to further intensify debates across the country’s political space.
