Human rights lawyer, Deji Adeyanju, has declared that former President, Goodluck Jonathan, remains the only southern politician capable of defeating President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 general elections.
Naija News reports that Adeyanju, however, expressed doubts that the former president would join the race.
Posting on 𝕏 (formerly Twitter), he wrote, “GEJ is the only southern candidate that can defeat Tinubu but I don’t think he will run against Tinubu.”
The activist noted that the Nigerian Constitution permits Jonathan to run for another term of four years.
Adeyanju said, “GEJ is not constitutionally barred from contesting. Our laws forbid a situation where any law would be made targeting a particular individual. If I try to explain this to you now, headache might worry you but have a great day sir.”
He also aimed at the 2023 Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, accusing him of using religion to mobilise votes.
“This was how the church secured six million votes for Obi in 2023. We will not be alive and watch you religious bigots rewrite history,” he wrote.
He maintained that Obi would not be allowed to replicate the strategy in 2027, contrasting it with Tinubu’s Muslim-Muslim ticket in 2023.
“I can never respect a man who used religion to campaign in a multi-religious country. At least the Muslim-Muslim guys didn’t go round mosques to campaign, Obi did despite my warnings,” Adeyanju added.
