Hakeem Baba-Ahmed’s Bold Prediction
As the political drumbeats for the 2027 elections begin to sound louder, a massive prediction has just dropped. Hakeem Baba-Ahmed, the National Chairman of the Peoples Redemption Party (PRP), has boldly declared that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu will face a crushing defeat—provided the election is completely free, fair, and credible.
A Clear Timeline for Defeat
Speaking on Channels Television’s Politics Today, Baba-Ahmed didn’t mince his words. He expressed absolute confidence that the ruling party is deeply vulnerable if the playing field is leveled.
According to him, if Nigerians are simply allowed to choose their leaders without any form of manipulation, the outcome of the 2027 presidential election will be obvious long before the final votes are counted.
“If it is a credible, free and fair election, I assure you Tinubu will lose,” Baba-Ahmed stated firmly. He even went a step further, adding a surprising timeline: “I won’t say before 12 noon, maybe before 4 p.m. in the evening.”
The Warning to Democracy
Beyond his bold prediction, the opposition figure issued a serious warning about the future of the nation. Baba-Ahmed stressed that failing to guarantee a truly credible election process in 2027 could severely threaten the survival of Nigeria’s democracy.
He highlighted that millions of frustrated Nigerians are eagerly waiting to express their dissatisfaction through the ballot box. Denying them a transparent process could push the country’s fragile democratic system to the breaking point.
What This Means Moving Forward
Baba-Ahmed’s comments highlight the growing confidence among opposition figures as they look towards the next general election. He even pointed to the recent Osun governorship election as proof that the ruling party can be decisively beaten when the process is transparent.
As we inch closer to 2027, the pressure on the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) is mounting. The message from the opposition is clear: the people are watching, and they demand an election where their votes actually count.
