Osun Election: Govs, ‘political structure’ can’t deliver Tinubu in 2027 – Vatsa

A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, APC, in Niger State, Jonathan Vatsa, has warned President Bola Tinubu that relying on governors and political elites could jeopardise his 2027 re-election bid.

Speaking with journalists in Minna on Monday, he urged Tinubu to change his approach and reconnect directly with Nigerians, saying the President should not depend solely on political structures ahead of 2027.

Vatsa described the Osun election as an early warning to the APC, saying hunger, unemployment, insecurity and perceived poor leadership could shape voters’ decisions in 2027.

If, despite the full solidarity of the APC structure in Osun, the governorship result did not favour our party, then the message is crystal clear.

It is time for Tinubu to reconnect with the grassroots before the 2027 contest,” he stressed.
