2027 Presidency: Tinubu will place third, says El-Rufai

President Bola Tinubu will not win the presidential elections of 2027, said the former governor of the state of Kaduna Naisr El-Ruphai.

The former governor said that his calculation showed that, at best, Tinubu would place himself third in the elections.

Speaking on “Sunday Politics”, a television program of canals, El-Ruphai said that there were possibilities that the elections did not end in the first vote, but Tinubu would have had no possibility in the outflow.

According to him, those who had guided Tinubu would not have been those who determine the result of the elections.

His words: “I was governor of the state of Kaduna; I was one of the greatest activists of Bola Tinubu, but I could not deliver the state.

“Bola Tinubu himself could not win his state with his in progress governor. So, these things are not theoretical as people want them to be.

“If you want to engage in the self-impression, you are free to do it. I will not tell you how we will win, but I tell you very clearly-the worst scenario in the 2027 elections is that no winner will emerge in the first round.

“We may have to go for a flow and Bola Tinubu will not be in the vote for the outflow, because, at best, it will be third in the elections.

“He does not have a path to win. I did the mathematicians, I did the analysis; he cannot – at the best of the hypotheses, it will be third.

“But he can deceive himself; he can think, oh, you know, I have money, because they took all the money in the country, I have the Incen, I have the army. You know what, the president Tinubu, he invited ex-president Jonathan for a chat, and was asked if he did not have all this in 2015, and we got the same case?

“It is like those who say that Tinubu has never lost the elections. This can be contested, but that’s okay. It is a political strategist, this is, that’s. Wait.

“Of course I said, if you want to learn some lessons, invite former president Goodluck Jonathan for a chat on the coffee and ask him what happened in 2015. It’s all,” he said.
