In spite of the renewed gang-up by the opposition, a support group of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), the National Progressive Hub (NPH) has predicted victory at the poll for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu come 2027.
The group maintained that the one year outstanding performance of the President in office has dashed the plot by former Vice President Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Peter Obi of the Labour Party (LP) and other opposition elements.
Earlier in the week, leading opposition figures have been meeting in what political observers have described as realignment of forces ahead of 2027 general election.
Addressing newsmen on the impact of the first year of President Tinubu at the APC National Secretariat in Abuja on Friday, the National Coordinator of NPH, Hon. Bukie Okangbe, said the recent realignment of forces by the opposition was for 2027, but maintained that the move failed at conception.

She said, “The ongoing alignment of political parties and politicians in the country shows obviously that some are ready to match up with us come 2027. We are confident though that Nigerians are with us more than they were during the last elections due to the leadership quality of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.”
Okangbe, however, advised leaders and members of the governing party to come together in unity, stressing that the game is gradually building up.
The group called for unity among party members, advising that “the witch-hunting of our leaders that have worked so hard for this administration during campaigns must stop. We should remain focused as one family.
“It is both human and natural that issues would arise within a political family from time to time but the ability to reconcile and move forward makes the difference. The way forward for us as progressive government is for our party members to have a change of heart towards our leaders and stop the public embarrassment of dragging our leaders in the public.”
