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.”

The African Democratic Congress, ADC, has said it’s too early to decide who becomes its 2027 presidential candidate.

Bolaji Abdullahi, ADC interim National Publicity Secretary, said it’s focused on building a strong political party.

Speaking in Abuja on Saturday, Abdullahi said the ADC has no preferred presidential candidate.

He said: “We don’t have any favourite aspirants or candidates. We are not having any conversation at the moment.

“Nobody has ever had any conversation about who will be the party’s flag bearer.

“We believe that it is too early in the day. Our focus now is to build a political party that is strong enough to deliver on the mission that we have set for ourselves.”
