A social media expert and political commentator, Japheth Joshua Omojuwa, has said President Bola Tinubu’s record of never losing an election is a curse.

Omojuwa explained that such a record is a curse for Tinubu because he can be beaten in 2027 if he dwells too much on it.

He disclosed this while featuring on Mic One podcast with Seun Okinbaloye.

The political commentator said if Tinubu fails to stabilize the economy and ensure his number adds up politically, he would be defeated in 2027.

He said: “Anytime somebody goes into the ring he can be beaten. I’m a boxing fan and if you get into that ring, you can be beaten.

“Anybody can be beaten. If President Tinubu doesn’t ensure that the Nigerian economy is stable and if he doesn’t do his numbers well with respect to the politics, they will beat him.

“And that’s why he is balancing governance with politics because he knows that anybody can be beaten.

“Tinubu has never lost an election, that’s a gift and a curse – a gift because it gives you a sense of invincibility and it’s a curse because if you dwell too much on it, you can get knocked out by a sucker punch.

“Forget Tinubu, anybody who is on the throne is a candidate to beat because people think that it’s about the individual. Go and check the design throughout history, incumbents always win reelection.

“His enemies, those who don’t like him and want to beat him have to think with this understanding in mind that just by the design of incumbency, he is in an advantageous position, by his own personal history of election; he brings out that advantage.”

Nigerian political commentator and social media expert, Japheth Joshua Omojuwa, has given reasons why he believes strongly that Peter Obi will never be President.

Omojuwa, during an interview on Mic On Podcast, maintained his confident declaration that Obi, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party in the 2023 general election, will never become Nigeria’s president.

Asked if his declaration is not an overtly absolute verdict in a democratic setting known for its surprises, especially when the same system once brought an opposition candidate, late former President Muhammadu Buhari, to power after three failed attempts, Omojuwa explained that the former Anambra State governor is still part of the old system.

“The question intentionally pretends that I didn’t give the reason why he [Obi] wouldn’t be president,” he said.

“I’m going to give [reason]. I said that he wouldn’t become president on account of certain things. And the funny thing is, even people that were allies with him have been on your podcast, and they’ve also more or less said the same thing in different ways.

“There’s a philosopher that says that you cannot continue to do the same thing and expect a different result.

“And Peter Obi, he knows that too. You know why he has compromised his position. So Peter Obi was of the system, a beneficiary of the system of the old order.

“He was governor of Anambra State under APGA. By the time he left, he stopped being governor, he desperately wanted to become a minister. He tried to become aviation minister. It didn’t work out.

“Eventually, Jonathan just made him chairman of the SEC. Anyway, the man [Jonathan] was on his way out. I think this was April 2015, and he still took it, right? It took Buhari to fire him as Chairman of SEC.

“Eventually, he ran as Atiku’s vice presidential candidate, a full-blooded PDP member, becoming a presidential candidate under, you know, running under a PDP ticket.

“From there, he then becomes born again. Under this new political system, the Labour Party, he became completely born again, a different, fresh Nigerian that had never been part of the old order.

“He enjoyed some miraculous change and perception, and unfortunately for him, that did not carry into the presidency.

“And then he comes back and says, what changed? What do I need to change? What has he been doing? He’s been going to be with, in bed with the same people that he said were the structure of criminality. He’s shaking hands with them, he’s sitting with them, he’s signing his names with them.

“Now, I use the word compromise, but it’s not compromise. He’s gone back exactly where he actually has always been.”

Human rights activist and lawyer, Deji Adeyanju, has said the former Labour Party’s presidential candidate, Peter Obi won’t be voted even if he swears in a shrine to be president for just one term.

Adeyanju made the remark while noting that the only Southerner who can defeat President Bola Tinubu is former President Goodluck Jonathan.

Recently, Obi said he was willing to be president for just one term and handover power to the North.

Obi, former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, and former governor of Rivers State, Rotimi Amaechi are lead contenders for the coalition’s presidential ticket.

But, none of them have declared their intentions to run yet.

However, Adeyanju said Northerners won’t believe Obi to uphold any agreement that he would be president for just one term.

In an interview on Arise Television, Adeyanju said: “I have said it publicly and I want to reiterate it that even if a Southerner were to contest, the only person who stands the chance of defeating Tinubu is Goodluck Jonathan.

“And this is because he just has only one more term. And as for Obi, it’s not a thing of agreement.

“Even if he swears in a shrine, they will not believe him and they will not vote for him.

“I don’t see any Southerner candidate that can defeat Bola Tinubu, I don’t see.

“But if Atiku steps down he could support a younger Northerner, support somebody else.

“The idea that it must always be me, it does not have to always be you on the stage, you can be off the stage and be supporting somebody that is standing on the stage.”
