Presidency Reacts as Coalition Plots Against Tinubu Intensify Ahead of 2027
FCT, Abuja - The presidency has explained that President Bola Tinubu was yet to be bothered with the 2027 general election, rather, it said that the president focused on his economic policies and improving the livelihood of Nigerians.
This was disclosed by Sunday Dare, the president's special adviser on media and public communication, who explained that Tinubu was more concerned with the long time impack of his economic policies, than the 2027 plots by the opposition and the next general election.

Presidency speaks on 2027 elections
Dare made this known in a tweet on Friday night, March 14, as reports of opposition plots to oust the president in the 2027 general elections get intensified. The report became intensified after former Kaduna governor Nasir El-Rufai, dumped the All Progressives Congress (APC) for the Social Democratic Party (SDP).
Sunday Dare's tweet reads in part:
“He’s worried about how the reforms he has put in place will yield the necessary impact. He is concerned about what happens to the economy of this country eventually. That’s the focus."
See Sunday Dare's tweet here:
There have been allegations that El-Rufai left the APC for the SDP after falling out with President Tinubu, following his removal from the ministerial list in 2023. The president has submitted the names to El-Rufai to the National Assembly for confirmation as a minister.
However, the former governor was rejected by the national assembly, citing security concerns. El-Rufai recently rejected the claim, asking why the security report has not been published, two years after and claimed that the president changed his mind about his ministerial appointment.

As he headed to the SDP, El-Rufai became a major critic of President Tinubu's administration for neglecting the promises the APC made to Nigeria and also alleged that the ruling party was being run like a one man show.
The former governor has been calling for a coalition from the aggrieved members of the APC and other members of the leading opposition party, including those in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and the Labour Party.
Legit.ng earlier reported that President Bola Tinubu's chances in the 2027 presidential election may not be as certain as expected as some former governors are reportedly forming a coalition against him.
The plot against Tinubu ahead of 2027 emerged following the defection of the immediate past governor of Kaduna, Nasir El-Rufai, from the APC to the SDP.
El-Rufai, who is a former President Muhammadu Buhari's loyalist, had called on the opposition to unite and unseat President Tinubu and the APC in the 2027 election.
