Controversial social media activist, VeryDarkMan, has revealed that the opposition supporters are underestimating President Bola Tinubu.
He emphasised that Tinubu’s political strategy and influence are stronger than they appear, warning the opposition to be more vigilant and strategic in their efforts.
He emphasised that the Labour Party’s presidential candidate in the 2023 general election, Peter Obi, has a low probability of winning the presidency in 2027.
He further remarked that the presidential candidates of the Peoples Democratic Party and the New Nigeria People’s Party, Atiku Abubakar and Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, would not “smell” the presidency.
The self-styled activist made this statement while reacting to reports suggesting that Obi’s recent visit to Atiku could be related to a potential merger of opposition parties.
VeryDarkMan maintained that even with a merger, it would be difficult for the opposition to unseat the incumbent president in 2027.
He said, “I’m sick of seeing the news of Peter Obi and Atiku planning a merger ahead of 2027 in a bid to take over the presidency.
“But the truth is, Peter Obi, Atiku, or Kwankwaso cannot smell the presidential seat in 2027.
“The problem with the opposition is that they underestimate the incumbent president, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
VDM further explained, “With time, you will realise that Tinubu is the greatest politician of all time. I hate to say it, but it’s fact.
“The man is smart, intelligent, and desperate. He knows how to get what he wants. Don’t joke with him. He will remain in the office till 2032.
“The opposition should give up on the merger plans. Peter Obi 2027 is not possible.”
Last week, Peter Obi held a closed-door meeting with former Vice President Atiku Abubakar and some Peoples Democratic Party stalwarts in Abuja.
Obi also met separately with a former governor of Jigawa State, Sule Lamido, and former Senate President, Bukola Saraki, a development that sparked speculation about a potential coalition ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Obi was a member of the PDP until 2022 when he defected to the Labour Party to pursue his presidential ambition.
