Ahead of the 2027 presidential election, Chinedu Ogah, a member of the House of Representatives representing the lkwo/Ezza South federal district of Ebonyi State, said that President Bola Tinubu is the only opposition candidate who can match him. Ogah, who also chairs the House Committee on Reformatory Institutions, downplayed speculations suggesting a prospective partnership between former Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai and Peter Obi, the 2023 presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), as a threat to Tinubu’s reelection aspirations in 2027. Speaking to reporters in Abakaliki, Ogah said Tinubu is well-positioned for success ahead of the 2027 elections due to his remarkable performance, track record of tackling the nation’s issues, and in-depth knowledge of those issues.
His words: “President Tinubu is doing perfectly well; he is doing very well. You may hate Tinubu but he is doing well in his administration, tackling the challenges in the country.
“The President has made us legislators sit up and every legislator is busy in his/her constituency attending to the people’s needs because 2023 has shown that if you are not on ground, the people will vote you out.
“The rural people that were regarded as illiterates are now more learned than us and they now know how to vote and who to vote for in an election. If you are not representing well, the people will vote you out.

“So, the President is doing very well and that was why most of us were singing his praises to come into power because he knows the problems of the country and how to solve them, and he is solving them.
“Who is contesting against the President in 2027? Who will run against him? I have even endorsed the President for 2027, but I have not seen anybody who will match him.
“I have not seen anybody that will match Tinubu in 2027; forget the noise on social media some people are making. Is it El-Rufai who could not win Kaduna, his state, that will match him? He is not an issue if he is running.”
