Former Senator Shehu Sani has cautioned that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is likely to secure a resounding re-election in 2027 if Nigeria’s fragmented opposition fails to unite.
Sani voiced his concerns about the continuous stream of defections to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) and the persistent lack of unity among opposition parties.
Speaking to journalists in Abuja, Sani stressed that internal divisions and a lack of cooperation among opposition parties would essentially guarantee an easy victory for the APC.

“There’s no way you can evict a ruling party without a coalition. Only through unity can opposition parties set aside narrow interests for the greater good of democracy,” he stated.
Sani criticized key opposition parties, including the Social Democratic Party (SDP), Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Labour Party, and New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), for their reluctance to engage in coalition efforts.
“If they head into the election disjointed, APC will likely win by a landslide,” he warned.
According to Sani, Nigeria’s political landscape lacks strong ideological boundaries, which facilitates frequent and easy party switching.
“Parties are just platforms to pursue personal ambitions. Their manifestos are almost identical, and names are the only things that differentiate them,” he observed.
