Ahead of the 2027 general elections, a former Political Adviser to President Bola Tinubu, Hakeem Baba-Ahmed has said the All Progressives Congress, APC, is having sleepless nights over fear of being rejected in a free and fair election.

Baba-Ahmed noted that the APC has all the money and most of the politicians needed but it’s battling fear ahead of the 2027 elections.

He was reacting to an X user @Abdulrah_maan who claimed that the opposition in Nigeria is lacklustre.

He posted: “I do not like how very disconnected I have become with this country’s politics.

“Major political events keep happening without me being aware. I wonder what could be the cause.

“Politics should be interesting and I find nothing interesting in what and how these guys are carrying it out.

“The opposition on their part is largely lacklustre.”

Responding, Baba-Ahmed posted: “Opposition is not lacklustre. It is undergoing the most crippling assault from the governing party in the history of democracy in Nigeria.

“APC has all the money in the world and 90% of elected politicians on its side. Yet it cannot sleep for fear of rejection in credible elections.”
